Free Crochet Tutorial for the Piggy by Natalya Dolbunova
In this pattern, you can create a piggy using crochet and a dress knitted with needles. You can use any plush yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook for the amigurumi, while the dress is knitted with Pehorka Acrylic Yarn for Children. You can substitute with other similar yarns.
