A Birthday Pig

Hello! It’s a beautiful day today, just right for another Simply Saturday post. 😉

This project I completed over the last week or so. I made it as a gift for one of my nieces, who’s second birthday was this past Wednesday. Although it’s a little hard to tell with toddlers, I think she liked it! 😉

I really loved the design of this pig. It seemed to go a lot faster crocheting it, since the nose, head, body, and tail were all one piece. Anything that I don’t have to make separately and sew on later is a plus in my book. A few of the instructions didn’t quite turn out right, but they were easily fixed. (Note: Pay close attention to round 45 of the body. All it needs is a little adjusting and it should work out nicely.) The pattern was easy to read, for the most part, and I think wouldn’t be too difficult for the novice crocheter.

I think that this pig might be my favorite of the Amigurumi animals I’ve made. There’s just something sweet and lovable about it. The little curled tail and ears…so cute! 🙂

I’ll link to the pattern here, in case you want to try your hand at it. I promise, it’s not as difficult as you may think! And if you’re interested in other crocheted animals, here’s a link to another post I’ve done on the subject.

Well, I hope I’ve given you some crafting, gift, inspiration. Have fun! ~ Emily
