Meet the No Sew Plush Pig
If you loved my Mini Chubby Pig, you’re going to fall head-over-heels for its big sibling — the No Sew Plush Pig!
This pattern keeps everything you adored about the mini version (no sewing, simple stitches, squishy cuteness) but turns it into a larger, huggable plushie that’s perfect for snuggling or gifting.
Made with Premier Parfait Chunky yarn, this pig is soft, fluffy, and oh-so-easy to love. Whether you make a classic pink pig or a playful muddy one, the results are always irresistibly cute.

- Beginner-friendly – uses only basic stitches: single crochet, increases, decreases, and a fun special stitch.
- Unique tr-bobble legs – a playful triple bobble stitch gives the pig its chubby little feet!

The best yarn to crochet the plush pig amigurumi.
The pattern is designed using plush yarn, specifically the Parfait Chunky yarn. However, if you are uncomfortable working with it, switch to another bulky-weight yarn. I used one colour in two contrasting shades for one pig, and for the second one, I used three different colours. See them down below.

Tester Appreciation
A big thank-you to my wonderful testers who brought this piggy to life in their own styles!
They tried different yarns, colors, and eye styles — from embroidered eyes to classic safety eyes — and every single one turned out adorable.

Pattern notes
- The pattern is worked in continuous/ spiral rounds. Do not join your rounds with a sl st unless stated otherwise.
- Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the first stitch of each round. Move the marker after completing the round.
- For my amigurumi, I use the ‘’Yarn Under/Yarn Over’’ method.
- The pattern is completely no sew. We will make the body and then add the ears and tail.
- The printable PDF includes 2 additional graphs for muddy spots. Buy the PDF here!
Special Stitches:
Working in the third loop of the HDC stitch, this loop is located just behind and nearly parallel to the normal loops that typically work.
Tr- Bobble: Triple bobble stitch- instead of making the bobble with 5 dc stitches together, we will make it with triple. This will result in a bigger bobble, which will be the leg of the piggy.
