Oinking from this free crochet pig pattern are all the countryside comforts of a bustling barnyard—rows of newborn crops peaking out from freshly turned soil, curious little piglets splashing in the muddy remnants of a spring shower, and the golden sun settling behind a whirling windmill.

While you wait for the cattle to feed and the crops to grow, how better to pass the time than with this free pig amigurumi pattern!

Terminology:

This free crochet pig pattern uses English / US terminology:

  • st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
  • ch = chain stitch
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (over the span of 2 stitches), also known as a decrease
  • sc3tog = single crochet 3 together (over the span of 3 stitches)
  • sk = skip

Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch.

In other words, 1sc = one single crochet, whereas 2sc = two single crochet worked into one stitch, also known as an increase.
