This collection presents nine pig amigurumi patterns for makers who want a finished toy pig without a long sewing stage. Most designs use little or no sewing. The head and body are crocheted as one continuous piece in most designs, so you can focus on shaping and stuffing rather than joining separate parts.
Legs, ears and snouts are crocheted directly onto the body or attached with a single seam. Before you choose, compare sizes and construction methods. Fiberfill and safety eyes are the shared basics used across all nine designs.
Photos of designer patterns belong to their original creators unless noted otherwise. Use this guide to compare finished sizes, yarn weights, hook sizes and skill notes, then pick the pig that fits the yarn you have and the time you want to spend. If you enjoy textured stitches, you may also like Crochet Puff Stitch Flowers.

No Sew Crochet Piggy
This small pig is crocheted in super bulky yarn. The yarn is Premier Parfait Chunky, and the hook is 4.5 mm. It uses 6 mm safety eyes and a bobble stitch. The finished pig measures about 3.5 inches long, which is about 9 cm. If you want a quick weekend project, this one works up in chunky yarn on a 4.5 mm hook and needs almost no sewing.
Fay notes that gauge is not important for this pig. Keep your stitches tight so the stuffing does not show through. That tip matters most in a small toy, where a loose stitch can open a gap around the fiberfill.
Because the yarn is super bulky, each stitch covers more fabric than a fine yarn would, and a tight hand helps the pig keep a neat, rounded shape.
Choose this pig when you want a small finished size and a short finishing stage. The combination of super bulky yarn, a 4.5 mm hook, 6 mm safety eyes and a bobble stitch gives you the full spec list in one place.
Free Crochet Pig Pattern
Petra Salisbury designed this pig pattern around YarnArt Jeans. The yarn is a fine sport weight, size 2, cotton and acrylic blend. Work it on a 3 mm hook. You will need two balls of light pink and one ball of dark pink. The completed pig measures 9 inches when seated, which is about 23 cm, and 13 inches from ears to toes, which is about 33 cm.
Any 100 percent cotton can be used as a substitute for YarnArt Jeans. The pattern page links to a yarn guide listing alternatives, so you can check substitutes before you buy yarn.
Plan for the full yarn amounts above, since the pig uses two colors and the light pink is the main color. A seated size of 9 inches makes this pig larger than the small 3.5 inch pig above.
Choose this pattern when you want a larger pig with a clear yarn list and a cotton option. The 3 mm hook matches the fine sport yarn listed, and the two color plan keeps the light pink and dark pink distinct.
Pig Amigurumi Keychain
Mariska designed this mini pig keychain to take roughly an hour to make. It comes in two sizes. The small version is 6 cm, which is about 2 inches, and it uses Catania cotton on a 2.5 mm hook. The large version is 10 cm, which is about 4 inches, and it uses velvet bulky yarn. The two versions give you a quick gift option and a slightly larger plush option from the same idea.
To make a larger or smaller pig, switch to thicker or thinner yarn and a matching hook. That simple change lets you adjust the finished size without learning a new pattern. It also makes the pattern useful for leftover yarn. If you have a small amount of cotton or velvet yarn left, you can use it for a keychain pig.
Choose this pig when you want the smallest finished size in this guide and the shortest time. About an hour is shorter than the time needed for a large plush pig, and the 6 cm cotton version is the most compact pig listed here.
Presley the Pig
Nicole Chase designed Presley the Pig as an advanced beginner pattern. Some prior amigurumi experience is helpful for this pig. It can be made in durable acrylic yarn or soft plush yarn. The pattern page includes sections on assembly, tips for the best pig, and customization options. The free pattern is on her blog, while an ad free PDF is sold on Ravelry and Etsy.
If you have made one or two amigurumi toys before, this level should feel comfortable. If this is your first amigurumi toy, read the assembly section first so you know which parts are joined.
The choice between durable acrylic and soft plush yarn changes the feel of the finished pig. Acrylic is listed as durable, and plush is listed as soft, so pick the finish you want for a gift or a keepsake.
Choose this pattern when you want a free blog pattern with the option of an ad free PDF. The blog version gives you the full free pattern, and the PDF on Ravelry and Etsy gives you the same pattern in a format you can save and print.
Amigurumi Pig
Grace and Yarn designed this pig as part of her farm animal collection. It is a larger toy, about 13 inches tall when made in size 4 worsted yarn on a 3.5 mm hook. The post links to the other farm animals in the set for making a matching one.
She advises adjusting hook size to match your tension. Go down a size if you crochet loosely. That advice helps you keep the stitches close enough that the fiberfill stays inside the toy.
If your stitches look loose, switch to a smaller hook before you continue. If your tension is already tight, keep the 3.5 mm hook listed for the pattern.
Choose this pig when you want a large toy that can sit with a matching farm set. The size of about 13 inches tall makes it one of the largest pigs in this guide, tied with the ears to toes length of the Petra Salisbury pig. You can find the designer page through this free amigurumi pig crochet pattern link.
Crochet Piglet Amigurumi
Marizza Toys designed this piglet in three shades of pink sport yarn. The yarn is YarnArt Jeans. Work it on a 2 mm hook. It uses 5 mm safety eyes and black thread for the eyebrows and mouth. The finished piglet stands roughly 15 to 17 cm tall, which is about 6 inches. Its difficulty level is easy to medium, making it a small, detailed pig with an embroidered face.
The three shades of pink give you a way to show the snout, ears and body in slightly different tones without changing yarn brands.
A 2 mm hook is the smallest hook in this guide, and it suits the sport yarn and the small finished size. The 5 mm safety eyes pair with the black thread eyebrows and mouth. That embroidered face is what gives this piglet its detailed look.
Choose this piglet when you want a small, detailed pig at an easy to medium level. The height of about 15 to 17 cm keeps it compact.
No Sewing Pig
Elendipity created this pattern because most people in the crochet groups she belongs to dislike sewing, so every part is worked in as you go. It comes in two sizes. The small pig uses Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6 on a 3 mm hook and 12 g of yarn. The big pig uses cotton 8/8 on a 3.5 mm hook and 15 g of yarn. The pattern uses a bobble stitch, and she advises knowing how to work an invisible decrease.
The two sizes use different yarn, hook size and yarn amount. The small pig uses Cotton 8/6 and the 3 mm hook, while the big pig uses cotton 8/8 and the 3.5 mm hook.
Yarn amounts are 12 g for the small pig and 15 g for the big pig. The bobble stitch gives the pig a textured surface, and the invisible decrease helps keep the shaping neat.
Choose this pig when you want a truly no sew finish. Every part is worked in as you go, so you do not need to sew parts together at the end. The two size options let you pick the pig that fits the cotton you have, and the small yarn amounts keep the project compact.
