I have been thinking about a new series of amigurumi for baby’s for quite some time. However, the perfect idea wouldn’t come. Last week, my sister came up with the idea I was looking for: 2d softies with stripes. Yes!! I loved it!! So I started collecting the right colors and started crocheting. This is number 3 in these series, a cute little pig!

Do you know what’s so great about this amigurumi? It can be a softie, but it has many more possibilities!! You can add some crinkle foil, a rattle or a beeper. Or fasten small rings onto the tail, and/or add a ring for fastening the toy onto the baby box, car seat or stroller. That will change your softie into a toy every child loves to play with!

In the ‘materials’ I mention Scheepjes Catona. If you want to make a bigger version of the amigurumi, you can use Scheepjes Cahlista. This yarn is available in the same colors as Catona. With Cahlista your Little critter will be a beautiful eye catcher in the baby room and you can add a music box into his tummy! Use crochet hook 3.5 when you use this yarn.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless!
