Knit & Crochet Guinea Piggy Patterns

Posted by Danielle | May 2, 2015 | Amigurumi & Kawaii, Crochet Hacks, Knit Hacks | 6 |

I love guinea pigs, they make great pets and are fairly easy to care for. My son Finn had two guinea pigs when he was younger, Itchy and Sticky, and I made sweaters for them often. You can see the pattern here, it’s very popular! And below are some of my fave amigurumi guinea pig patterns, for both knitters and crocheters – enjoy!

Love this Guinea pig. Have been asked by my sister to make some for my niece. Would love to have the pattern, is that possible? Then I can make a collection the same as her real ones.

My daughter just lost her first pet guinea pig and I would like to make this for her. Could you send me the pattern if at possible? I have seen other pattens, but they just don’t look right and are too small or are of newborn guinea pigs. Thanks in advanced!

  Hi Renea, I don’t think this maker ever made this pattern available. There are dozens of great options on Ravelry, some that are very close to this. Good luck and I’m sorry about the loss of your piggy.
