Pig Huggie
Pattern Description:
The Pig Huggie is a cute amigurumi lovey pattern that is crocheted with Premier Parfait Chunky yarn. If you would like to create a smaller version you might choose to crochet with a worsted weight yarn and a coordinating hook. This huggie is considered to be low sew. A suggested worsted yarn I used for this is Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn. I also created a fun template to use with this pattern. More information about the FREE template is below.

Pattern Overview:
This pattern, like most of my crochet patterns, is considered to be low sew. The arms and the blanket part is attached as you go. This way you won’t have to worry about sewing the blanket on centered at the end. When I started crocheting amigurumi, I did not enjoy sewing the pieces together at the end. With that in mind, I try to create my patterns with as many pieces attached as you go. Once you are finished, all that remains are the eyes, ears, snout and the adorable little flower. A step-by-step picture tutorial is provided to embroider the sleepy eyes.
This huggie is perfect for:
• New Baby Gift
• Keepsake or Heirloom Gift
• Sell at Craft Shows and Markets
• Easter Gift
• Nursery Decor
