If you love crochet amigurumi and squishy plushies, this crochet amigurumi pig in a bear hoodie is going to melt your heart. With a cream body, pink snout, and a textured brown bear-style hood, it’s a cosy, cute project that looks amazing in plush/chenille yarn.

This pattern creates a soft, chubby crochet pig plush (amigurumi) with a sweet cream/white face and body, tiny white arms, short little legs, and classic black safety eyes. The star of the design is the brown bear-themed hooded outfit, a light brown textured hood with small dark brown bear ears and an adorable, rounded bear snout sitting right on top of the hood for that “animal costume” look.

Crochet Bear Amigurumi Pig In Hoodie Plush Pattern

This is a wonderful pattern for confident beginners or easy-intermediate crocheters who want to practice shaping, safety-eye placement, and simple add-on costume pieces (hood, ears, straps). The finished pig is perfect as a baby shower gift, nursery decor, kids’ room decoration, a collectable shelf plush, or even a handmade shop item if you sell finished amigurumi.

Finished Toy Description (What It Looks Like)

This amigurumi pig has a round, chubby head that blends softly into a plump body. The face is clean and simple: black safety eyes are evenly set on the front of the head, with a gentle, sweet expression. The pink snout is small and rounded, slightly raised from the face, with optional stitched nostrils.

The pig’s own ears are minimal (optional as tiny nubs) because the costume hood is the main feature. The bear hood fits over the top of the pig’s head and frames the face like a cosy cowl. On top of the hood sit two small dark brown bear ears, and between them is a rounded bear snout detail (light brown with optional dark brown “nose” embroidery) that makes the hood read instantly as a bear costume.

Skill Level

Easy-Intermediate.
The pig body itself uses basic amigurumi shaping (sc, inc, dec in continuous rounds). The “intermediate” part is mainly due to costume construction (hood fit, ear placement, straps) and working with plush/chenille yarn, which can make stitches harder to see.

Materials Needed

Chenille/velvet/plush yarn (super bulky recommended) in:
- Cream/White (pig head + body + arms)
- Light Brown (hood + outfit/shorts)
- Dark Brown (bear ears accents + optional nose detail)
- Pink (pig snout)
Crochet hook: 4.5 mm to 6.0 mm (use what gives tight stitches; often 5.0 mm works well)
Safety eyes: 10–12 mm black (adjust to your size)
Polyester fiberfill stuffing
Yarn needle (tapestry needle)
Stitch marker
Scissors
Embroidery thread (dark brown/black for hood nose; pink for nostrils, optional)
Optional: tiny decorative buttons/beads (avoid for under-3 gifts), blush, felt accents

Important Notes Before Starting

Work in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise.
Use a stitch marker to track the first stitch of each round.
Keep stitches tight to prevent stuffing from showing (especially with safety eyes).
Stuff gradually, shaping as you go, plush yarn hides lumps, but shaping still matters.
Place facial features symmetrically (count stitches and use pins first).
Final size changes depending on yarn/hook. If your hood seems tight/loose, go up/down a hook size or add/remove a round.

7) Bear Hood (Light Brown)

This hood works as a cosy “cap/cowl” that frames the face.

Now create the face opening and add a little “collar” feel by working rows:
Row 11: ch 1, turn, sc in next 30 sts (leave 12 unworked for back opening) (30)
Row 12: ch 1, turn, sc across (30)
Row 13: ch 1, turn, sc across (30)
Row 14: ch 1, turn, sc across (30)

Fold edges to check fit around the pig face. If you want a deeper hood, add 1–2 more rows.

Edging around face opening (optional but neat):
With the hood right-side out, join the yarn at one corner of the opening. sc evenly around the opening, working 1 sc per row edge and per stitch; sl st to join. Fasten off.

MR, 5 sc (5)
Fasten off. Sew onto the centre of the snout base, or embroider a small oval nose instead.

10) Lower Body Outfit / Textured “Shorts” Section (Light Brown)

This piece wraps the lower body and gives a fluffy, textured look. Plush yarn already looks fuzzy; for extra texture, we’ll use BLO and a simple stitch change.

Rnd 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
Rnd 2: inc x6 (12)
Rnd 3: (sc, inc) rep x6 (18)
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) rep x6 (24)
Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) rep x6 (30)
Rnd 6: (4 sc, inc) rep x6 (36)

If you want that soft “rounded collar” look under the hood:

With light Brown, ch 26–32 to fit around the neck area.
Sl st to join into a ring (don’t twist).
Rnd 1: sc around.
Fasten off,f leaving a tail. (You can tack this under the hood edge.)

Assembly Instructions (Step-by-Step)

1) Prep & Pin First (Do This Before Sewing)

Lightly stuff pieces so they hold shape (head/body firm, arms/legs softer).
Use pins or stitch markers to “test place” everything before sewing.
View the plush from front, side, and top to check symmetry.

2) Attach the Pig Snout (Face Details)

Position the pink snout centred on the face, slightly below the eyes.
Pin in place, then sew around the snout edge using whipstitch.
Add a tiny bit of stuffing to the snout just before closing the last few stitches.
Optional: embroider two small nostrils with pink thread.

3) Eye Placement Check (If Not Done Yet)

If you haven’t locked the safety eyes yet, place them between Rnds 9–10 (approx.) and 7–8 stitches apart.
Always check that the eyes look even when viewed straight on.
For a baby-safe version: embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes.

4) Sew Head to Body (Strong & CCentredJoin)

Make sure the head opening is fully closed and the body is stuffed nicely.
Align the head so the face points straight forward (use a pin at the centre).
Sew the head to the body with tight stitches all the way around the neck seam.
Add a little extra stuffing at the neck as you go if it feels wobbly.

5) Attach Arms Evenly (Tiny White Arms)

Pin arms to the sides of the body about 1–2 rounds below the neck seam.
Check symmetry from the front (arms should sit at the same height).
Sew each arm securely, stitching through both the arm and body edges.

Tip: Keep arms slightly forward for a “huggy” look.

6) Attach Legs for a Cute Sitting Pose

Pin legs low on the body, slightly toward the front underside.
Make sure both legs are even by counting stitches from the centre front.
Sew firmly so the plush sits without tipping over too easily.

7) Add the Tail (Optional)

Sew the small tail to the back of the body, low and centred (above the shorts line).
Keep it subtle so it doesn’t interfere with sitting.

8) Dress the Plush: Shorts / Textured Lower Outfit

Slide the light brown shorts/lower outfit onto the body (or wrap and position it).
Align it so the “front” sits neatly under the belly area.
Tack/sew it in 3–5 small hidden spots (sides + back) so it won’t twist or slip.

9) Build the Bear Hood Top Details (Ears + Snout)

Attach bear ears: Place the

e ears on top of the hood, one on each side.
Pin and check from the front to make sure they’re balanced.
Sew around the bottom edge of each ear.

Attach bear snout (on top of hood):

Place the rounded bear snout centred between the ears, slightly forward.
Sew it down, adding a touch of stuffing if needed for a puffy look.
Optional: embroider a small dark nose on the snout.

10) Fit Hood Onto the Pig (Neat Face Framing)

Put the hood on so the face opening frames the eyes and snout nicely.
Adjust until the hood sits evenly from left to right.
If you want it permanently positioned, tack the hood with a few stitches:
- near the sides of the head
- and/or at the back of the neck seam

11) Attach Suspenders/Straps (Overall Look)

Sew the bottom of each strap to the front top edge of the shorts.
Bring the straps upward toward the chest/neck area.
Sew strap tops near the hood edge or onto the optional collar piece.
Check that both straps have the same tension (so the shorts aren’t pulled crooked).

Optional: cross the straps at the back for a cute variation.

Finishing Touches

Face shaping: Massage and pinch the stuffed head to smooth lumps; plush yarn responds well to gentle shaping.
Hood fit: If the hood looks too loose, tack it at the back; if too tight, add one increase round or use a larger hook next time.
Embroidery details: Add a tiny stitched “bear nose” on the hood snout, or simple nostrils on the pig snout.
Blush (optional): Light pink pastel or blush powder on cheeks (keep it subtle).
Weave in ends neatly: Plush hides ends well, but secure them with a few knots and weave deep.
Help it sit nicely: Position legs slightly forward and add a touch more stuffing at the bottom front.

Customization Ideas

Change the bear hood into a bunny, cat, frog, or lion by altering ears and adding a different top detail.
Try cocolourways:
- Beige pig + chocolate hood
- Pink pig + caramel hood
- White pig + pastel “teddy” hood
Add accessories: a tiny scarf, a bow, a heart charm, or a mini backpack.
Resize: use thinner yarn (worsted) for a smaller collectable, or jumbo chenille for a giant plush.
Turn into a keychain: make with cotton yarn, reduce rounds, and add a small loop at the top of the hood.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Loose stitches: stuffing may show through, especially with lighter yarn. Size down the hook if needed.
Uneven stuffing: Overstuffing the head can push the eyes too far apart; understuffing makes it floppy.
Wrong eye placement: always pin first, then check from the front before locking the safety eyes.
Oversized hood: test-fit while making it; adjust by adding/removing rows on the opening.
Misaligned bear ears/snout: measure spacing and centre points—small shifts are noticeable on hoods.
Uneven arms/legs: count stitches from the centre front and use pins to mirror placement.

Care Instructions

Spot clean with mild soap and cool water when possible.
If machine washing, place in a mesh laundry bag, use a gentle cycle on cold, and air-dry (plush yarn can get matted in heat).
Do not tumble dry on high heat. Fluff gently with fingers after drying.
