Amigurumi Pig Finished
After two failed tries and lots of weaving in loose ends, my first amigurumi project is complete! I chose to try this free amigurumi pig pattern from Lion Brand.
It turned out OK. It’s not perfect by any means but still a cute pig. My three-year-old recognized it as a pig anyway.
I do plan on making one more to give to my niece for Christmas since she loves pigs. Luckily I will have enough Vanna’s Choice yarn so I won’t have to buy any more. I might buy the suggested eyes for the pattern as I’m not that wild about the buttons. But the only eyes I could find were the glue-on googly eyes, which I knew would not work for this piece.
Once I had done the body, it didn’t take long to do the tail, ears, nose, and four legs. It did, however, take a few minutes to join everything to the body.
Some of the finished pigs on Ravelry turn the body sideways. This didn’t even occur to me as I was working with a ‘top to bottom’ vision for the pig.
My husband doesn’t like it but it’s not for him now is it? The little girl seems to like it and that’s all that counts.
The pig amigurumi pattern is also available on Ravelry. I will use the graphic below when I use a pattern that can be found on Ravelry.
