Free Amigurumi Pig Keychain Pattern
This is the third piggy pattern I have designed, and my new amigurumi pig keychain pattern is by far the simplest and quickest to work up. It’s the tiniest too, designed to fit nicely into your pocket. I intended to use it on my keychain, but it took approximately nine seconds from completion to relocation in my daughter’s instead. Ah well, it won’t take me too long to make another one!

The Free Amigurumi Pig Keychain Pattern
You are going to crochet your pig in two sections, first making the head to the tail, then crocheting and sewing on the ears.

If you like, you can now sew a couple of little lines for nostrils on the face if you have a scrap of a darker shade of pink or orange.
Crochet the Pig’s Ears
Ch4, sk, 1sc, 1dc, 1tr.
Sew each ear four rounds above the eye.
Attaching the Keychain
To attach the keychain ring I sew through a stitch at the top of the head, back and forth at least three times using the same colored yarn.
I’ve made a bunch of these keyring designs over the past few days, and they’ll be going up onto the site shortly. But in the meantime I have a huge stash of cute tiny critters, which my kids are already debating ownership over. Which can’t be a bad sign!
