Baby Pig Amigurumi Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: You will need pink yarn for the snout and ears, and light pink yarn for the body and parts of the ears and legs. Although the specific type (e.g., cotton, acrylic) and weight (e.g., sport, worsted) of the yarn are not listed, based on standard amigurumi practice, a medium-weight yarn could be a good choice with appropriate hook size.
- Hook: The exact size of the crochet hook isn't provided in the provided text. Typically, for amigurumi, a smaller hook than recommended for the yarn is used to ensure tight stitches so the stuffing doesn't show. An assumption would be a size that's compatible with medium yarn, for example, a 3.5 - 4.5 mm hook, but you should check the yarn's label and possibly go a size smaller.
- Safety Eyes: The pattern instructs to place the safety eyes between rounds 8 and 9, 8 stitches apart, but does not specify the size. Generally, the size can range from 6mm to 12mm depending on your preference and the size of your pig.
- Stuffing: Fiberfill or a similar material for stuffing the pig.
- Other: A yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembling the parts, scissors, and potentially a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.
Abbreviations:
- MR: Magic ring/ Magic circle
- Ch: Chain stitch
