In green yarn.

Stem

Ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and next 2 ch (3 sl sts). Fasten off, leave a tail.

Fasten off, leave a tail.

Assembly (Step-by-Step)

Attach the Snout

Center the snout on the face, typically around R12–R15 area (adjust to taste).
Sew it on neatly, adding a small bit of stuffing before closing.
If adding nostrils, embroider them after sewing.

Add the Ears

Place ears on the upper sides of the head, roughly around R7–R9.
Keep them symmetrical by pinning first and checking from the front.

Sew on Legs

Arrange four legs on the bottom of the body.
Make sure the pig sits without wobbling: set it on a table and adjust before sewing tightly.

Sew on Arms (Optional)

Place arms on the sides, around R14–R16.
Angle them slightly forward for a cuddly pose.

Attach Pumpkin Hat

Position the hat on top of the head (centred).
Sew around the base of the hat securely, stitching through both hat and head stitches.

Finishing Touches

Weave in all ends carefully (plush yarn likes to shed—secure knots inside).
Optional: Add a tiny smile with black embroidery thread.
Optional: Add blush cheeks with pink embroidery or a tiny amount of cosmetic blush (seal lightly if needed).
Give the plush a final “shape massage” Plush yarn responds well to gentle shaping.

Helpful Tips (Especially for Plush Yarn)

Working with Plush/Chenille Yarn

Use a slightly smaller hook than the label suggests to avoid gaps.
Count stitches by feel, run your fingers over the round, and mark increases.
If you lose track, place extra stitch markers every 10–12 stitches.

Proper Stuffing (for a Chubby, Smooth Body)

Stuff in small layers rather than one big clump.
Firm stuffing helps the pig keep its rounded, plush body shape.
Avoid overstuffing near the closing rounds to prevent stretching gaps.

Placing Safety Eyes

Try a “test pin”: inse insert the pplac place the, then cocoir confirm thesion before locling s.
Wider spacing = sweeter, calmer expression; closer = more “baby” look.

Symmetrical Assembly

Pin everything first (ears, snout, legs, arms).
Look at the plush from the front, side, and top before sewing.
Use the round counts as landmarks to keep placement consistent, especially if making two matching pig plushies.

Customization Ideas

Change the pumpkin colours to cream, green, or pastel lavender for a whimsical look.
Make seasonal versions:
- Winter: tiny beanie + scarf
- Spring: flower crown
- Summer: strawberry hat
Add accessories: a bow under one ear, a mini scarf, and a tiny heart patch on the belly.
Create different sizes:
- Use thinner yarn (DK + 2.5–3.25 mm hook) for a mini pig
- Use jumbo plush yarn for a big cuddle plush

FAQ (5+ Questions)

1) Can I use regular acrylic yarn instead of plush yarn?

Yes. The pig will look more “classic amigurumi” and less fluffy. Use a smaller hook (often 2.75–3.5 mm) and expect a smaller finished size.

2) What if I don’t want to use safety eyes?

You can embroider eyes with black yarn or embroidery thread. This is also preferred for toys intended for children under 3.

3) How do I keep the pumpkin hat from sliding off?

Sew it on with multiple anchor points around the base. If you want it removable, stitch a small elastic loop inside the hat and secure it under a few head stitches.

4) My plush yarn stitches are hard to see—what should I do?

Use stitch markers frequently, count often, and work in good lighting. Some crocheters like to use a smooth “helper strand” alongside plush yarn, but it’s optional.

5) Why does my pig look lumpy after stuffing?

Cut the stuffing into smaller pieces and distribute the fiberfill evenly. B:ody Gentroll the finished body between your hands to smooth it out.

6) Can I make the snout a different colour?

Absolutely—light pink, blush, or even makeup makes the cute face stand out.

Tips for Selling or Photographing Finished Items

Photograph in soft natural light near a window; plush textures look best with gentle shadows.
Use a cosy pastel background (a cream blanket, light wood, or soft pink backdrop) to match the handmade aesthetic.
Style with fall props: mini pumpkins, knit scarf, cinnamon sticks, or warm-toned leaves.
For selling: clearly list materials, size, and safety notes (especially if using safety eyes).
Create “pair listings” (two pigs together) and “single pig” options bundles often convert well.
