Easy Amigurumi Warthog Crochet Pattern - Beginner Friendly (PDF Download)

It's fine. Very satisfying little project. The mane instructions tripped me up and I had to frog it twice.

Nearly five stars. Very satisfying little project. I made it in a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft and the mane still came out crisp. I've bought Warthog patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. The tail instructions could use one more photo.

This was a joy to make. Made two: one for my son's nursery and one that is NOT leaving my house. Already eyeing the other animals.

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? Great TV-watching project. Will be making this again.

Not bad, not amazing. I liked that the color changes for the mane are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. Made two: one for my goddaughter and one that is NOT leaving my house. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the tail section.

My Warthog is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. Made it in under 3 hours with Bernat Blanket. Thanks for a great pattern!

Love love love this pattern. I sell at craft fairs, and this one still taught me something. The shaping on the snout is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. My grandson squealed. Mission accomplished. Go get it.

Finished my Warthog last night! This one's for my grandson. Already planning the next one.

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one.

Great pattern, not quite perfect. Finished in one evening. The tusks is my favorite part. I'd love a yardage estimate per color, not just total.

I screamed a little when I finished the face. I run a crochet club at my school and I had no trouble at all. I've bought Warthog patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. My niece squealed. Mission accomplished. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. Thanks for a great pattern!

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. I left out the mane by accident and honestly it still looks cute. My new go-to gift.

Absolutely adorable. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds.

Good value, a few notes. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. It was for my daughter and it was the hit of the party. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.

Very cute, minor hiccup. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Four solid stars.

Absolutely adorable. My Warthog came out small enough for a keychain using cotton DK. Buying the whole set next.

Hands down the best Warthog pattern out there. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. Zero complaints.

Hands down the best Warthog pattern out there. Took me the length of a football game start to finish including sewing on the mane.

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I make toys for the children's ward and I had no trouble at all. Gave it to a teacher appreciation gift. I've been asked for four more. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Finished in a snow day. The snout is my favorite part. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.

Solid pattern. I make these for my Etsy shop so I was nervous, but it went fine. My Warthog came out bigger than I expected using chunky chenille. Great TV-watching project. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Still recommend.

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. The proportions are spot on. The tusks is the perfect size. If you're on the fence, buy it.

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I appreciated the note about stuffing the snout firmly before closing. Made a difference. Would give six stars if I could.

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I've made maybe a dozen amigurumi and this was perfect for me. Gave it to my twin nephews. I've been asked for four more. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the mane goes. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out.

Five stars, no notes. Gave it to a coworker's baby shower. I've been asked for four more. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. If you're on the fence, buy it.

Finished my Warthog last night! I had never crocheted an amigurumi before so I was nervous, but it went fine. Gave it to my daughter. I've been asked for four more. The tusks is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the tail. Highly recommend.

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns, and this one still taught me something. The shaping on the tusks is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. This one's for my best friend. Already planning the next one. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard.

So happy with how my Warthog turned out. Download link came through instantly after checkout. Gave it to my dog-obsessed sister. I've been asked for four more.
