Flying Pig Amigurumi
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 always came 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 but...
Anyway, I decided today would be the day to finally a crochet flying pig!
Keep scrolling for the free pattern. You can also support my small business by purchasing the ad-free and inexpensive PDF patter in my shop and on Etsy and Ribblr.
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 one 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

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.
