Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Sew any remaining hole closed in your crochet pig pattern. Thread a long tapestry needle with the tail and poke it all the way through the body until it reaches the face, just above one eye.

Weave the needle through the stitch directly above that eye and pull the yarn through. Then poke the needle across the face of your crochet pig pattern to the stitch just above the other eye and weave the yarn through that stitch.

Return the needle to the first side and gently pull the yarn snug—slowly and carefully—until you like the effect. This will help redefine the pig’s adorable face.

Weave in the end, and your Crochet pig pattern is complete!

Ears – make 2

With Color A, ch 2.

R1: Work 3 sc in the 2nd ch from hook. TURN. (3 sts)

R2: Sc in each stitch across. TURN. (3 sts)

R3: Sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch, 3 sc in the last stitch. TURN. (6 sts)

R4:. Sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in each of the next 2 stitches, sc in the next stitch, sc dec. TURN. (7 sts)

R5: Sc in the first 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch, [sc and hdc in the same stitch], 2 dc in the next stitch, dc in the following stitch. TURN. (10 sts)

R6: Sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in each of the next 2 stitches, sc in the next 4 stitches, sc dec, dc in the next stitch. TURN. (11 sts)

R9: Sc dec, sc in the next 2 stitches. FO, leaving remaining stitches unworked.

Tip: The top of the ear will naturally curl forward—let it. On the opposite ear, flip the curl so it goes the other way to create a distinct left and right ear.

If the ears resist uncurling, you can lightly block them before sewing to relax the stitches.

Sew the long edges (last rows) of each ear to the sides of the head, around round 17—leaving about 4–5 rounds of sc between the eyes and the ears.

Crochet Pig Pattern Legs – make 4

Finishing: Stuff each leg firmly. Sew the legs to the body with the last row of each leg facing outward. Pin the legs in place first to adjust for balance and symmetry—this will determine whether your pig can stand on its own. Congrats you are now the proud owner of your crochet pig pattern. I would love to hear it’s name.
