Pineapple Piggy

The story of creation of a PinapplePiggy: I just fingured out, that it would be great and fun to combine animals and fruits. With that fun thought I've created a pineapple body piggy and strawberry bunny. I love the way two things that are never seen together are merged into a toy

Meet Pineapple Piggy - a quirky amigurumi that combines two things you'd never expect: a cheerful pink pig with a textured yellow pineapple body. It's weird, it's wonderful, and people can't help but smile when they see it.

This handmade crochet toy is about 6 inches tall with a bright yellow pineapple-textured body, soft pink face and ears, and spiky green leaves sprouting from the top. The contrast is delightful - sweet pig features meet tropical fruit in the most unexpected way. Perfect as a birthday gift for anyone who loves unusual handmade toys, or as a conversation starter on your desk. Kids and adults both get a kick out of it. The pattern uses cotton yarn in cheerful colors and takes about 6 hours to complete if you're comfortable with basic amigurumi techniques. The original designer created a whole series of fruit-animal mashups (there's a strawberry bunny too), and this pineapple pig has become a fan favorite.
