Techniques

This pattern is standard to most amigurumi toys. We will be crocheting in continuous rounds. The Three Not So Little Pigs pattern is meant for advanced beginners/intermediate crocheters.

Remember that toy making is a process. It doesn’t have to be perfect and every toy you make will be an opportunity to improve your skills. I’ve learned something from every toy I’ve made.

Notes

•The Amigurumi Pig Finger Puppets – FREE Crochet Pattern is crocheted using continuous rounds.

•Mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker.

•Keep an accurate count of your rounds and number of stitches per round.

•The number in front of the stitch abbreviation stands for how many stitches worked. For example: “6 sc” would mean “work one sc in each of the next 6 stitches”.

•The number in brackets at the end of a round indicates how many stitches you should have after working that round.

•The best way to stuff is to do a little at a time as you are making the pig.
