Pig Desk Buddy
Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
No-Sew Pig Desk Buddy doesn’t like a pig sty on his desk. This tidy little pal keeps your workspace neat with charm and squeals of encouragement.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
This advanced beginner/intermediate no-sew pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions, pictures, and video tutorial to help you along the way. Pig Desk Buddy is crocheted in the round/continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Pig Desk Buddy is crocheted in super bulky chenille yarn and is approximately 3 inches tall to the top of the ear and 2 inches tall to the top of the cup . Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!
