Cupig the Valentine’s Day Pig
If you’ve seen my Rose Turtle, Sweetheart Frogs, or Valentine’s Dog / Cat patterns, you know that I have a habit of designing cute amigurumi for love season! I just couldn’t resist the thought of a little pig that could fly, and do so for the sole purpose of spreading love on Valentine’s Day 💘 So this design was born! I love the feel the soft yarn and squishy cylindrical body – and how can anyone resist the wings and curly tail! It doesn’t get much cuter than this for Valentine’s Day!
The yarn I used for the body here is getting harder to find as it is a Jo-Ann’s exclusive, so you can find a great alternative HERE!
