Miss Piggy - Free amigurumi pattern

Oh, I've never been more excited about something as I am about Miss Piggy right now! As a matter of fact, I'm writing this post in a very much hurry, just to be able to show you Miss Piggy wearing her sweeeet ruffled dress (which, by the way, was recycled from an old shirt). In the same time, I'm giving you the opportunity to make a Miss Piggy of your own, courtesy of Yana Dym Sky, her designer, which allowed me to publish my english notes describing her pattern.

As I said before, my notes are not as detailed as the original tutorial, so if you want further guidance, please watch Yana in action on her youtube channel - you can find the first part of Miss Piggy video tutorial here.

By clicking right here, you will find a short guidance for the abbreviations I'm using. For this doll, I used Clover Amour hook size 2.25 mm, with Catania/Alize Bahar cotton yarn - tight crochet for the body and loose crochet for the dress. I'm not sure about the size of the eyes, maybe 10 mm, but you can experiment with several sizes and decide what's good for you, depending on the size of your finished toy :)
