This crochet pig amigurumi combines a sweet pink pig’s head with a khaki ice cream cone for a playful handmade project. The pattern uses plush or chunky yarn and basic US crochet stitches. Follow the rounds carefully, keep a stitch marker handy, and check your stitch count as you work to help the pieces come together neatly.
The finished piece can be used as a small soft toy or adapted as a decorative detail for items such as bags and wallets. If making it for a young child, use age-appropriate materials and make sure all features are firmly attached; embroidered eyes are a safer option than safety eyes for children under three.
Before starting, read through the full pattern and prepare the yarn, stuffing, and tools. The instructions are written in US crochet terms, and the stated difficulty level is middle. The project uses a magic ring, single crochet, half double crochet, increases, decreases, slip stitches, and front- and back-loop-only stitches.
Materials for the Crochet Pig Amigurumi
Plush or chunky yarn gives the project a fuller texture. Milk cotton can also be used, but the fabric and finished size may differ, so adjust the hook to suit your yarn and maintain even stitches. The pattern specifies a 6.0 mm hook.
- Pink yarn
- White yarn
- Khaki yarn
- 6.0 mm crochet hook
- Darning needle
- Fiberfill
- Scissors
- Stitch marker
- Hot melt adhesive

Use the stitch marker to identify the beginning of each round, especially when working in continuous rounds. The pattern includes slip stitches and chain stitches at the end of several rounds, so follow those instructions as written.

How to Crochet the Pig Amigurumi
Head (pink)
- Begin with a magic ring.
- R1: 6 sc in the magic ring, 1 ss, 1 ch. [6]
- R2: (2 sc in next stitch) 6 times, 1 ss, 1 ch. [12]
- R3: (1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) 6 times, 1 ss, 1 ch. [18]
- R4: (2 sc in next stitch, 2 sc) 6 times, 1 ss, 1 ch. [24]
- R5–R8: 24 sc, 1 ss, 1 ch. [24]
- R9: (1 sc, sc2tog, 1 sc) 6 times, 1 ss, 1 ch. [18]
- R10: FLO: (3 hdc, 1 ss) 9 times. Cut the yarn, leave a tail, and weave in the loose end with the needle. [36]
Keep the front loops of R10 available for the decorative edge, and work the cone into the back loops as directed below.
Ice cream cone (khaki)
Change to khaki yarn and work into the back loops of R10.
- R10: BLO: 18 sc, 1 ss, 1 ch. [18]
- R11: (1 sc, sc2tog) 6 times, 1 ss, 1 ch. [12]
- R12–R13: 12 sc, 1 ss, 1 ch. [12]
- R14: (1 sc, sc2tog) 4 times, 1 ss, 1 ch. Add fiberfill. [8]
- R15: (1 sc, sc2tog) 2 times, then sc2tog. Cut the yarn and weave in the end. [5]
Before closing the cone, add enough fiberfill to give it a soft, rounded shape. Small yarn scraps may be used as an alternative stuffing material. Add the filling gradually so it stays evenly distributed.
Ears (make 2, pink)
Insert the hook between R5 and R6 of the head for each ear.
- Step 1: In the same stitch, work 1 ch, 1 sc, and 1 hdc; then make 2 ch.
- Step 2: Insert the hook behind the second stitch’s vertical bar in the chain below and make 1 ss. In the same stitch, work 1 hdc, 1 sc, and 1 ss. Cut the yarn, leave a tail, and weave in the loose end.
Nose (pink)
- Step 1: Make 3 ch. Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc, 3 sc in the next stitch, turn the work, and make 2 sc in the next stitch. [6]
- Step 2: Stitch two vertical lines of white yarn onto the nose.
Assemble the Crochet Pig Amigurumi
Prepare the finished head and cone, two ears, nose, one pair of 8 mm eyes, and hot melt adhesive. Check the placement of the facial features before attaching them so the face looks balanced.
- Attach the nose to the pig’s face.
- Place the eyes on the fifth row of the head. If using safety eyes, secure their backs firmly before finishing the piece.
- For extra color on the cheeks, add blush with a darker pink marker or makeup blush.
Take care when using hot melt adhesive, and keep it away from children while it is hot. Allow any adhesive to cool fully before handling the finished crochet toy.
Finishing Tips
Weave in loose yarn ends neatly and check that the ears, nose, and facial details are secure. If the toy will be handled often, stitched attachments can provide a durable finish. For a tidy result, compare both ears and adjust their positioning before fastening the yarn ends.
This crochet pig amigurumi pattern brings together a pig’s head and an ice cream cone using pink, white, and khaki yarn. Keep the stitch counts close at hand, work the loop changes carefully, and stuff the cone before closing it to complete the plush character.
