Easy Pig Knitting Patterns

If you’re new to toy knitting, the Knook Piggy is a good place to start. It’s rated easy and has a simple garter-stitch body.

When comparing pig patterns, look for basic stitches, straightforward shaping and a manageable number of pieces. Small doesn’t always mean easier—tiny ears, legs and other details can make miniature toys surprisingly fiddly.

Small Pigs and Piglets to Knit

For a small project, try the Farmyard Finger Puppets. The five farm animals are knitted flat using DK yarn and are designed to use yarn oddments.

The Three Little Pigs are another excellent small-yarn project. Each pig measures approximately 7.5 cm tall, and the set uses small quantities of 4-ply yarn in several colours.

Pig Knitting Patterns Worked Flat or in the Round

Pig toys can be constructed in very different ways.

The Three Little Pigs and Farmyard Finger Puppets are knitted flat and seamed, making them useful choices if you prefer working back and forth on needles.

Other designs use knitting in the round. The Pink Pig Toy, for example, is worked using double-pointed needles.

Check the construction before choosing your pattern, particularly if you specifically want a pig knitting pattern for straight needles.
