Ask, and you shall receive! After a member requested we add some farm animals to our felt stuffie collection, Krista designed these little felt pigs with cute, curled tails. For a simpler version, we also have these needle-felted pigs.
When you’re ready to start crafting, check out our supplies list below. Then download the template and tutorial at the end of the post.
Hogs and Kisses
These felt pigs are the perfect addition to our fluffy needle-felted sheep and goat stuffie. Add a felt barn and your little one is all set for pretend play. Of course we also think our small stuffies are a fun gift for any animal lover.
Skill level: Beginner-intermediate
Stitches used: Blanket, whip, ladder, and detached chain stitch. Need more guidance on these stitches? Check out our free embroidery guide.
Crafting tip: Although you can use your cutting machine with a rotary blade for this felt craft, we recommend detail scissors for a more precise cut. Plus the pattern is simple to cut by hand!

Hey! I absolutely LOVE all your patterns (and so do the kiddos at my school – I sew them for Math Problem of the Week prizes). I recently downloaded and used my Cricut to cut the beanbag frog pattern and was surprised and excited to see it cut the hole for the safety eye. Any chance the SVG files for the felt animal patterns could be edited to include the eye hole? It would be so much easier than printing out the paper pattern to mark where the eyes go!
That is a great tip. I will pass that along to Krista, who makes these animals. I designed the frog. 😉

Thank you! A year ago, I made a babirusa plush template that is based of a bear. It’s good to remake it so it actually looks like a pig
BTW, a babirusa is a pig in Indonesia that has large tusk poking from the top of its snout
Also, I live in Indonesia
I bet you can make one from this template!
très contente de trouver ces deux petits cochons
Happy you found them!
Love these little pigs! I adore the Woodland Stuffies but now would like more Farm Stuffies!
We have a whole list of animals to design for this little farm group! Yay!!
