Hello my dears, today I want to share a beginner crochet amigurumi pattern. The crochet pattern that I will share today is a pig amigurumi, which is very cute and easy to make. This cute pig figure that you can use as a key chain is a very nice toy especially for gift giving. You can improve yourself by making such key chains or small amigurumi toys.
Easy Keychain Crochet Pig
It seems possible to use the crocheted piglet, which stands out with its chubby structure, as a keychain, but my preference would be for decorating the Christmas tree. Such small and round-bodied toys can be very helpful when decorating the Christmas tree.
