Patty Pig Crochet Amigurumi Pattern by Yarn and Colors – Baby Fabulous (YAC100128)

What You Will Make

This downloadable PDF pattern guides you through crocheting Patty Pig, an adorable amigurumi stuffed pig toy designed for crafters of all experience levels, including absolute beginners. Patty is a charming, softly rounded pig figure complete with her signature curly tail — the detail that truly makes her stand out. The original design by Margreet @knotjesknus features closed, dreamy eyes, giving Patty the appearance of blissfully napping, perhaps imagining a lovely mud bath. She makes a wonderful handmade gift, nursery decoration, or collectible toy.

Design Options and Colorways

One of the delightful features of this pattern is the flexibility in color choice. The pattern specifically recommends using Yarn and Colors Baby Fabulous in the following shades:

• 044 Light Pink – a soft, classic piggy pink
• 047 Old Pink – a slightly deeper, vintage-inspired rose tone
• 026 Satay – a warm, earthy alternative suggested by the designers for a more unexpected and equally gorgeous result

Choosing between these colorways allows makers to personalise their Patty Pig and even create a whole little herd in different shades.

Techniques and Stitches Used

This pattern is rated as beginner level, making it an excellent starting point for anyone new to amigurumi crochet or looking to build confidence with three-dimensional toy construction. Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures, and it relies on a core set of techniques that are approachable yet satisfying to master.

Typical techniques and stitches used in an amigurumi pattern of this type include:

• Magic ring (adjustable ring) – used to begin crocheting in the round with a tight, closed centre, essential for forming Patty's rounded body parts
• Single crochet (sc) / double crochet (dc) – the foundational stitches used throughout the body, head, ears, snout, and limbs
• Increases and decreases – worked to shape the three-dimensional form of each body section
• Crocheting in continuous rounds – a hallmark of amigurumi construction that creates seamless, smooth surfaces
• Slip stitch (sl st) – used for joining and finishing sections
• Curly tail construction – a special technique involving increases worked rapidly into a chain or row to create Patty's iconic spiral tail
• Assembly and sewing – individual pieces such as ears, legs, snout, and tail are crocheted separately and then sewn onto the main body using a yarn needle
• Embroidery or safety eye placement – for adding Patty's closed, dreamy facial expression

Materials Required

The pattern is designed specifically for use with Yarn and Colors Baby Fabulous, a worsted weight yarn.
