I find flying pigs incredibly funny and super cute, which is why for the longest time I've been wanting to crochet a flying pig amigurumi.

Of course, other projects would always come up and I would put the flying pig idea on the back burner. It's funny though, I've made regular, plain, old pigs before and all I really needed to do was add wings.

So, I decided today would be the day to finally crochet a flying pig!

The pattern is fairly easy and suitable for beginners who want to practice making different amigurumi shapes.

The pattern is in English and uses US crochet terms.

The only part that I stuffed with fiberfill was the body but if you decide to make this you can definitely add stuffing to the legs and snout, though I don't think it's really necessary.

For this pig, I didn't use safety eyes and instead stitched upside down V's to create laughing eyes - he is after all happily soaring through the clouds!

The finished size will depend on your tension and the type of yarn you use but for reference, the original crochet flying pig I made was about 3.5" in length and I used worsted weight (4) acrylic yarn.

Flying Pig Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Skill Level

Beginner/Intermediate

Size

3.5” in length but can vary depending on yarn, hook size, and tension

Materials

• Worsted weight yarn, such as: Lion Brand Vanna White in Pink, Bernat Super Value in White and Black

• 3.75mm crochet hook

• Polyfil for stuffing

• Yarn needle for sewing

• Embroidery thread and needle

Chunky Pig Variation

Use super bulky (6) weight yarn and a size 8.00mm hook for a much larger version of this flying pig.

Notes

This flying pig is made up of the following parts:

• Body x 1

• Ears x 2

• Legs x 4

• Snout x 1

• Wings x 2

• Tail x 1

The body, legs, and snout are worked in continuous rounds - do not turn or join with slip stitch unless indicated.

The ears, wings, and tail are worked in rows.

There is no particular order to complete each part. If you prefer to sew the parts before adding stuffing you can make everything but the body first and sew the parts on before stuffing the body. Or finish the body, including stuffing, and sew the parts on after.
