Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring. (Total: 6 stitches)
2. Round 1: Increase (inc) in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
3. Round 2: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch* - repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Rounds 3-8: Single crochet in each stitch around for a total of 6 rounds. You will maintain 18 stitches throughout these rounds.
5. Round 9: *Single crochet in the next stitch, decrease (dec) in the next stitch* - repeat this pattern around. You should have 12 stitches remaining.
6. Stuff the head: Before closing, stuff the head with polyester fiberfill to give it shape. Continue to decrease until the opening is closed.
7. For the snout: Using cream yarn, create a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochet into the ring. Pull tight. In the next round, increase in each stitch (12 stitches). In the following round, single crochet in each stitch (12 stitches). Attach the snout securely to the head.
8. For the ears: Make 2 ears. Chain (ch) 5, single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook, half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain, and double crochet (dc) in the last chain. Attach each ear to the head securely.
9. For the legs: Make 4 legs. Chain 5, single crochet in each chain (5 stitches). Work in rounds until you reach your desired length for the legs. Attach each leg to the body securely.
10. Assembly: Ensure all parts (head, snout, ears, and legs) are attached securely. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends.
11. Add features: Attach safety eyes to the head. Use embroidery thread to stitch nostrils onto the snout for added detail.
12. Final touches: Weave in any remaining ends and give your pig a gentle squeeze to ensure everything is secure. Enjoy your new pig amigurumi!
