Crazy Knitting and Crochet Lovers

Hello and welcome to my Free Cuddly Piggy Knitting Pattern.

I love piggy’s, especially when they are the little pot belly pigs that stay small, they are so cute.

My neighbour at the time had one, and would walk it down the street like a puppy, it even had a play pen in the front yard, it was so adorable.

That was when I decided that I wanted to create a piggy knitting pattern.

It is perfect for beginners and even people who have been knitting for years.

The pattern is very easy to follow and actually really fun to make, I just love his little curly tail.

He has a cute personality that goes with him, and who doesn’t love a toy they can cuddle?

So here you go, a treat on me, my Free Cuddly Piggy Knitting Pattern, enjoy and have a wonderful time making this adorable toy.

How To Make It Up.

Simply sew up and stuff the pieces, do not stuff the ear pieces or the tail.

Once you have done that with the ears you simply sew two pieces together, but do not stuff them as this will distort the shape and sew them onto the head.

Then sew the head onto the body, the arms onto the top sides of the body and the legs onto the bottom sides of the body.

The tail should curl on it’s own with its small shape and you just need to simply sew it onto the bottom of the back.

I used black wool to embroider the nostril holes.

I also used Sewn In Wobbly Eyes, however Warning, if this toy is going to a young child, toddler or baby, Sewn In or Stuck On Wobbly Eyes can be a choking hazard so I would seriously recommend that you embroider the eyes with black wool instead.
