Tepig Amigurumi – Pokemon Crochet Pattern

Here is Tepig amigurumi in a playful and free Pokemon crochet pattern!

With the release of Pokemon Legends:Z-A and Tepig being one of the new starters, I thought it was a good time to get back into my “Gotta Crochet ‘Em All” Pokemon series again. These are the chibi Pokemon that are able to fit into the Pokeball Pods.

This Tepig design has an interesting history. I first made crochet Tepig many years ago for a couple that wanted to use the Tepig in the Pokeball as a ring holder for their wedding. And the ring carrier was going to be their dog! It was the most adorable thing!

Fast forward to present time, and now Tepig amigurumi gets his chance to shine once more! I’ve made a few changes from the previous designs, although you’re free to be creative with your Tepig and choose which design features you like.

Crochet Tepig’s main colors include gold and brown with bits of red and yellow. He looks like a little pig with a cute curly tail attached to a red ball. He also has a red snout and brown and yellow markings on his face.

Here are some different eyes you can do with Tepig amigurumi.

First is dot eyes. Here you can see how Tepig was used as a ring holder. The ears can work to hold rings!

You can also give him smiling eyes.

Here he is with felt eyes which includes both the whites and the black pupils.

And my final iteration, crocheting the whites of the eyes. And to make things easier, I’ve also crocheted the curly part of the tail. Which variation of Tepig do you prefer?

Anyways I hope you enjoy this continuation of my chibi Pokemon: Gotta Crochet ‘Em All series. How many have you made so far? Which other Pokemon should I do next? Send me your suggestions!
