This Crochet Fiery Blowhog pattern shows you how to make a soft, oval amigurumi Blowhog plush with a long tube snout and a bright colored tip. You’ll learn how to shape the body, crochet and attach the snout, add tiny legs, and embroider the cute Pikmin-inspired eyes.

If you’re a fan of quirky video game creatures, the Fiery Blowhog is a fun one to bring to life in yarn. In the Pikmin universe, Blowhogs are known for their long snouts and round, bouncy bodies, perfect features for a beginner-friendly amigurumi design. This crochet version captures that look with a rounded white/cream body, tube-like snout, a contrasting red or blue tip, and simple embroidered eyes.

Pikmin-inspired crochet toys are popular because they’re instantly recognizable, adorably odd, and easy to customize—tiny changes to colors or facial details create a totally different “variant” creature. This project is especially satisfying for crochet lovers because it’s made from simple shapes (an oval body, a tube, and small legs), so you can focus on clean stitching and assembly while still ending up with a plush that looks polished and character-true.

Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern

Pattern Notes (read first)

• Work in continuous rounds (do not join unless stated).
• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round.
• For the smoothest look, use invisible decreases.
• Stuff firmly, but avoid stretching stitches.
• This is an inspired-by design; placement and proportions are written to match the described plush look (oval body + long snout + tiny feet).

SECTION 1 — Main Body (White/Cream)

This body is a rounded oval “pill” shape. We’ll increase to a wide middle, work even rounds, then decrease to close.

Body

Round 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
Round 2: inc in each st (12)
Round 3: (sc, inc) x6 (18)
Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
Round 5: (3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
Round 6: (4 sc, inc) x6 (36)
Round 7: (5 sc, inc) x6 (42)

Rounds 8–13: sc around (42) — 6 rounds

Tip for a softer oval: After Round 10, gently press the body to encourage an oval profile. The stuffing will help hold it.

Round 14: (5 sc, dec) x6 (36)
Round 15: (4 sc, dec) x6 (30)
Round 16: (3 sc, dec) x6 (24)

Start stuffing firmly. Push stuffing into the sides so the body stays evenly rounded.

Round 17: (2 sc, dec) x6 (18)
Round 18: (sc, dec) x6 (12)
Add a bit more stuffing. Shape the base slightly flatter so it sits.

Round 19: dec x6 (6)
Fasten off, weave tail through remaining sts to close. Hidethe end inside.

Optional: Make the body more “egg/oval.”

If you want a more elongated Blowhog look:

• Add 2 extra even rounds (sc around 42) before Round 14, OR
• Increase to 48 sts (add Round: (6 sc, inc) x6 = 48) and do 2–3 even rounds at 48.

SECTION 2 — Snout / Nose Tube (White + Colored Tip)

The snout is a long tube attached to the front of the body. You can make a Fiery Blowhog (red tip) or a variant (blue tip).

Snout Tube (start in White/Cream)

Round 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
Round 2: (sc, inc) x3 (9)
Round 3: sc around (9)
Round 4: (2 sc, inc) x3 (12)
Rounds 5–14: sc around (12) — 10 rounds (or longer if you want a longer snout)

Lightly stuff the snout—just enough to keep it tube-shaped, not so much that it becomes stiff.

Color Change for Tip (Red OR Blue)

Change color at the end of the last white round.

Rounds 15–17: sc around (12) — 3 rounds in tip color
Optional for a rounded tip:

• Round 18: (2 sc, dec) x3 (9)
• Round 19: sc around (9)
  Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing (if closing) or leave open if you want a flatter tip.

Tip options:

• Rounded tip = slightly closed and bulb-like.
• Flat tip = leave at 12 sts and sew to shape later.

Attach Snout to Body

• Position the snout on the front center of the body (slightly higher than midline looks cutest).
• Pin around the snout opening.
• Sew the snout on using whip stitch through both loops.
• While sewing, add a pinch of stuffing at the base if needed,d so it doesn’t collapse.

Optional “snout base flare”: After attaching, you can do a few extra anchoring stitches from the snout base into the body to create a gentle flare.

SECTION 3 — Legs (Small Round Feet)

These are simple little nubs. Make 4 legs (or 3 if your reference plush has three—adjust as desired).

Legs (make 4) — White/Cream

Round 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
Round 2: inc x6 (12)
Round 3: sc around (12)
Lightly stuff (optional).

Flatten the opening and close with 6 sc through both layers.
Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.

Attaching Legs Evenly

• Place two legs near the front underside and two near the back underside.
• Before sewing, set the plush down and adjust leg positions so it sits without tipping.
• Sew each leg securely, stitching around the base and through the body fabric.

SECTION 4 — Eyes (Embroidered Blue/Green Details)

The described plush uses embroidered eyes, which gives a soft, child-friendly finish.

Eye Placement

• Place eyes on the front of the body, to the sides of the snout base, about 1–2 rounds above the midpoint.
• Check symmetry by looking straight-on and from above.

Simple Embroidered Eye Method (recommended)

Use an embroidery needle. Work slowly—small stitches look cleanest.

1. Outline (optional): With black thread/yarn, stitch a small oval/almond shape.
2. Blue detail: Fill a small area (like an iris/eyelid accent) with blue stitches.
3. Green detail: Add a tiny green highlight or dot to mimic the stylized game look.
4. Pupil: Add a small black vertical stitch or dot.
5. White highlight (optional): One tiny stitch makes the eyes look glossy.

Alternative: Crochet eyes

• White circle: MR 6, inc x6 (12), fasten off
• Blue circle: MR 6, inc x6 (12) or smaller (6–8)
  Layer and sew, then add a black pupil stitch.

SECTION 5 — Assembly (Order Matters)

1. Sew the snout to the body
   • Pin first, sew around, reinforce with a second pass at stress points.
2. Attach legs
   • Sew all legs, then test the plush standing on a flat surface.
   • Adjust by slightly shifting the back legs forward/back if needed.
3. Embroider eyes
   • Do eyes after snout attachment, so placement looks balanced.
   • Weave embroidery ends inside and knot securely.
4. Final shaping
   • Massage stuffing to smooth lumps.
   • If the body feels too round, gently press to create a softer oval “plush” silhouette.

Beginner Tips

• Use a smaller hook than the yarn label suggests—tight stitches prevent stuffing from showing.
• Count your stitches every few rounds. One missed increase can twist the body shape.
• Pin pieces before sewing (snout and legs especially). It’s the fastest way to get a “professional” look.
• Stuff in layers: Small bits of stuffing reduce lumps.
• Secure knots inside: For amigurumi, weave tails through several stitches, knot, then run the tail again and trim.

Customization Ideas

• Different snout colors:
  • Red tip (Fiery-inspired), blue tip (alternate), or even purple for a fantasy variant.
• Larger Blowhog plush:
  • Add one more increase round (to 48 sts) and a few extra even rounds.
• Keychain / mini version:
  • Use sport weight yarn and a 2.0–2.5 mm hook. Shorten the snout by 2–4 rounds.
• Different yarn textures:
  • Use chenille/velvet yarn for a super soft plush (just crochet tighter and use a larger hook).
• Add details:
  • Tiny stitched nostrils, blush cheeks, or a felt flame accent for the fiery theme.

FAQ Section

Is this patternbeginner-friendlyy?

Yes. This Pikmin crochet pattern is beginner-friendly if you’re comfortable with single crochet in the round, increases/decreases, and basic sewing. The snout tube is especially easy and repetitive—great practice.

What yarn works best for amigurumi?

A smooth DK or worsted-weight yarn (cotton or acrylic) is ideal for clean stitch definition. Cotton gives a crisp shape; acrylic is soft and affordable. Plush yarn works too, but it’s harder to count stitches.

Can I sell finished items made from this pattern?

If you’re selling finished goods, many makers do small-batch sales successfully. Since the character is inspired by a game universe, avoid using trademarked names/branding in listings when possible, and always follow the rules of your selling platform. (A good generic title is “crochet blowhog-inspired plush” or “cute long-snouted monster plush.”)

Conclusion

This Crochet Fiery Blowhog amigurumi is a quick, satisfying plush that captures the charm of Pikmin-style creatures with just a few simple shapes: an oval body, a long snout with a bright tip, and tiny legs. Whether you make it fiery red, cool blue, or your own custom colorway, it’s the kind of project that looks adorable on a shelf and even better as part of a whole crocheted creature collection.
