Amigurumi Crochet Pattern Release: Primrose the Pig

A crocheted amigurumi pig wearing a blue dress lays on a white background with a sprig of greenery. She's wearing a blue and white bow on her head.  Primrose is a paid amigurumi crochet pattern.

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!

Hand-Dyed Yarn for Amigurumi + Darwin the Turtle

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.

Simple Skirt and Bell Sleeves Crochet Tutorial

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!

The Best Yarn for Amigurumi

Ever walk into the yarn aisle and become paralyzed by all the options? Which yarn is best for amigurumi?

Yarn choice matters when it comes to amigurumi. You want your amigurumi to stand the test of time, withstand the play of children, and to look amazing! If you ask the Internet you’ll get a billion different answers and hear, “Whatever’s in your stash! You can use any yarn!”

And it’s true. You COULD use any yarn. But I’m going to make myself unpopular and say that you might not want to.
