Pattern Details
This Free Download Stuffed Piggy Crochet Pattern introduces Deisy, a cheerful and cuddly piglet designed to melt hearts and add a soft, handmade charm to any nursery, gift basket, or farm-animal collection. Standing approximately 20 cm tall, Deisy is crafted with plush yarn for a fluffy texture and wears a delicate knitted dress that adds an extra touch of character. Whether you're looking for how to create a cute farm animal plushie or how to make a stuffed pig with soft shaping and decorative flair, this PDF tutorial in English offers a delightful and rewarding experience from start to finish.
Deisy is crocheted in separate parts, beginning with the legs and working upward through a seamless transition into the body. This approach ensures consistent shaping and helps the finished piece feel balanced and sturdy. The arms and ears are made individually and sewn on with careful placement, while the short spiral tail is added at the back for extra personality. The face is constructed with soft contours and subtle sculpting, using thread tightening techniques to indent around the eyes and snout for a gently expressive look. With her blushing cheeks and detailed muzzle, Deisy feels like a plush piggy full of life.
The pattern also includes thoughtful tips for shaping the cheeks, placing the safety eyes, and embroidering eyelashes, eyebrows, and nose details—all of which help enhance Deisy’s sweet, gentle appearance. The ears are worked flat and folded into semi-circles before attaching, creating a floppy, cartoon-like silhouette that perfectly complements her round head. If you're wondering how to make a cute and cuddly toy that doubles as a baby shower crochet idea or nursery décor, this stuffed pig pattern has everything you need.
Deisy’s outfit brings another layer of charm. The included optional dress is worked in knit, designed with a yoke, short sleeves, and a ruffled lower edge. Though the garment is not required to complete the toy, it adds beautiful texture and color contrast to the plush body, making Deisy an ideal handmade gift for newborns or themed baby room additions. The dress is knit in rows and then joined in the round, closed at the back or finished with a simple loop and decorative flower embellishment. For crafters who enjoy mixing techniques like crochet and knitting in one project, this is a playful opportunity to blend both seamlessly.
Whether you're making her as a gift, a keepsake, or just for the joy of crafting something unique, Deisy is a delightful handmade character full of softness, charm, and personality. With easy-to-follow rounds, clear instructions, and flexible details for customization, she’s a joy to bring to life.

Top 10 Expert Tips for Crocheting Perfect Amigurumi 🧶✨
1. Choose your materials wisely 🎀: The right yarn and hook make all the difference. I always reach for non-fraying cotton or smooth acrylic, paired with a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches snug. If you’re unsure where to start, check out our complete yarn and hook guide.
2. Consistent tension is everything 🤏: Good amigurumi starts with even stitches. If your fabric feels off—too loose, too stiff—don’t power through. Take a moment to swatch and adjust. Learn how to fine-tune in how to master crochet tension.
3. Mark every round—no exceptions 📌: Even after years of crocheting, I still use stitch markers religiously. It’s not about memory—it's about precision. For more tricks I swear by, read our stitch marker tutorial.
4. Stuff slowly and intentionally 🧸: Overstuffed toys lose shape, underfilled ones collapse. I add fiberfill gradually, shaping as I go. There’s an art to it, and you’ll get it with practice—or by reading how to stuff amigurumi without wrinkles.
5. Sew with care and patience ✂️: Don’t rush the assembly. Seam invisibly, match edges, and always secure your threads deep inside. A clean finish is what sets great work apart. Follow the steps in professional amigurumi sewing techniques.
6. Texture brings life to your stitches 🔄: A little puff stitch here, a popcorn detail there—they add so much personality. When used thoughtfully, texture makes even the simplest design shine. See examples in creative crochet textures.
7. Use safe, secure details—especially for little hands 👀: I’ve made hundreds of toys for children, and I never compromise on safety. Reinforced safety eyes or embroidered features are always my go-to. Read my checklist in amigurumi safety and finishing touches.
8. Let color tell the story 🌈: Whether it’s muted earth tones or bright pastels, color changes everything. Don’t be afraid to experiment—just make it your own. If you need ideas, browse unique amigurumi customization ideas.
9. Document your process 📓: After so many years, I can’t count how many times notes saved me from repeating a mistake—or helped me replicate a success. Stay organized with our project tracking template.
10. Trust the process, not perfection ⏳: Some projects take longer. Some need to be unraveled. That’s okay. The magic is in the making. When you hit a block, revisit tips to keep your crochet momentum.
