Anguro- Free Crochet Pig Amigurumi Pattern

For week 3 we have a sweet little crochet pig! Anguro is rocking her cute stripped overalls. Doesn’t she just put a smile on your face with her cuteness??

About the yarn.

This crochet whale pattern is made using Needles 8 ply acrylic yarn. Again, the texture of tis yarn is just awesome! This time I worked with Royal Blue, Ice Mint, Chocolate Brown and Hot Pink. The head, body, tail and arms are made using hot pink. While designing Anguro, I kept seeing a little pig who loves the sun so much that she’s developed quite a tan or maybe it’s more of a sunburn, LOL.

The overalls are made using the same colours, intervals of royal blue & ice mint. You can get this yarn to work on your amigurumi whale as well through Crochet Kenya website.

Notes:

• Read through the crochet pig pattern from beginning to end before starting your work just to be sure don’t have any questions that might cause frustration while working on the project.
• For colour changes, when working last stitch in old colour:
  • Work as a typical sc until you have 2 loops on your hook.
  • Drop the colour you are not using and pick it back up when you need it again in the following rounds.
  • Use the new colour to yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook.
• Part of the pattern uses magic circle technique. If you are unfamiliar with this method of would like a refresher, I have a detailed tutorial on my blog:- How to Work and Secure the Magic Circle
• Fasten off by working a sl st in next st.
