Meet Primrose the Pig, my latest paid amigurumi crochet pattern! They say pigs adore the mud, but not Primrose. You can find her inside on a sunny window seat with the latest YA release and a bag of Skittles. Wouldn’t want to get that beautiful skirt dirty!
Primrose is crocheted continuously in the round from the top down. Her pattern makes an amigurumi pig about 7.5″ tall when crocheted with the yarn specified. The 10-page pattern has been tested by crocheters and includes multiple pictures to guide you with assembly.
You can find this crochet amigurumi pig pattern in my Etsy shop and Ravelry store. Tag me on Instagram at @moonbeamstitches and use the hashtag #primrosethepig and #moonbeamstitches to showcase your work!

If you’ve been around the amigurumi scene for a hot minute, you probably recognize the whimsical aesthetic of Yan Schenkel, the designer behind Animal Friends of Pica Pau and Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2.
It’s no secret how much I love these patterns. I borrowed Animal Friends of Pica Pau three times from the library before I finally bought it, and pre-ordered “Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2” when it was first announced. But then. The waiting!
My go-to yarn for making amigurumi is usually 100% cotton or a cotton/acrylic blend from a big-name yarn store. The pros are many: it’s easy to find, it’s cheap, and the color range is vast. But there’s another choice out there for amigurumi: hand-dyed yarn.
(You can find a low-cost and ad-free version of this pattern in my Etsy shop here!)
Summer in America can mean a lot of different things but I think we can all agree that baseball goes with summer like sprinkles go with donuts! Crochet this smiling amigurumi baseball and celebrate an American pastime with my free pattern below. The best part is this baseball can’t break any windows!
Two weeks ago I wrote a post on my favorite yarn for amigurumi: you can go read it here. While the cotton/acrylic blend will always be my favorite for traditional amigurumi, I also love crocheting with velvet yarn for its squish factor. But squish has its downsides – for the novice amigurumist, furry yarn like velvet hides stitches and makes counting difficult. But even beginners can conquer velvet! Keep reading for my best tips for crocheting amigurumi with velvet yarn.
Personalizing my amigurumi is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to do. A good pattern is vital but once you get the basics down, you can start improvising and giving your toys unique features.
I did this recently with my polar bear. The original pattern called for a cowl and vest but my version received a skirt and bell sleeves. Here’s how you can add a simple skirt and bell sleeves to your own amigurumi!
