FREE Crochet Pattern – Amigurumi Piggy Bella

Hello my lovely crocheters!

It has been a while since I’ve created my last amigurumi animal. I have been so into crochet baby booties, rompers and sweater lately that I totally forgot on my old love. For all of those who don’t know what amigurumi is; amigurumi is a Japanese art of knitting and crocheting small stuffed animals. Simple as that! 🙂

If you like the piggy Bella pattern, I think you will love the piggy booties too. You can find the pattern HERE.

You can read all about using the pattern and selling the items using Croby Patterns designs HERE.
