Sew inside and outside of ear together with your tapestry needle. Try to sew the two parts together by weaving the needle under the last single crochet’s on the edge of the ear. Sew finished ear onto hat.
Because you are sewing two pieces together, the ear will be sturdy and and will stand up when sewn onto hat. be sure to sew the entire bottom edge to the hat. If you only sew a small portion of the bottom onto it, it may flop over.
Pig Nose:
With dark pink…
Magic ring, Make 10 SC in ring, continue to crochet in rounds. Use a stitch marker if needed.

Round 4: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around (20 SC)
Round 5: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 3, repeat around, join with slip stitch (25 SC)
Change to light pink…
Round 6: SC in each stitch around, fasten off leaving long tail to see onto hat.
With black yarn stitch on two small nostrils. Do this before you sew snout onto hat.
To make nose larger, continue to SC in rounds after Round 5… so Round 6 would be “2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 4, repeat” and Round 7 would be “2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 5” and so on. You could also use HDC or DC stitches instead of SC’s to make the nose larger.

thanks so much!
As always, your creative designs are well worth the work. Although my grandchildren are older, I have made minion hats for them and they love them. I think I will make a couple of these and then find heads that will wear them!
So do you do DC on the magic ring or SC as the tutorial you link to shows? Sorry I'm not a great crocheter so this has me confused.
I know it's been almost a month, but you always follow what the pattern says. The tutorial is just a general guideline. 🙂
Your work and patterns are so amazing i just wanted to thank you for sharing i love piggies n my five yr old loves green so gonna make a green piggy lol again ty for sharing
What about row 3 on the nose? Just marked he rows wrong? Or do we need to do 2sc in each?
I love your website and all your patterns! You are awesome!
. Idk if it was intentional but round 3 is missing in the instructions. I may be confused. But I was wondering if there is a pattern correction or am I missing something?
I love this pattern, by the way. Definitely on my to do list. Thank you for the pattern! 😉
I just made your cat, owl and pumpkin hats for the holiday season for my grand kids. They turned out perfect. I don't know how you manage a house,kids and this website but you are amazing and so are your patterns. Thank you so much. Next on my agenda is the pig hat for my niece in Alaska.
In the odd rows of the ear flaps where you just dc all the way across, there is no ch 1 turn. Is there supposed to be a ch 1 or do we just turn without that? Thanks.
I just turned without the chain and it looks like hers 🙂 Hope this helps
Needless to say the screenshots had been taken about 2-3 minutes kind each
as we needed to wait the app labored as it should.
Hi I was wondering if you knew head circumferences that the different sizes fit. Thabks!
I downloaded your minion hat pattern and now I can’t get enough of them done. Everyone loves it. Thank you so much for sharing. I have time to crotchet but not to develop patterns. This can be used for a number of hats using different color schemes. It is so simple and so cute.
cartierlovejesduas @JMR, this is actually something that could be useful although I dont expect the property owners to actually redevelop the building’s interior. that would fall on the new tenant who would almost have to be a restaurant based on the internal layout of the building.

I’m excited to make this, however I’m having some issues with the ears. I attached them and they didn’t stand up on their own. Is there a certain way to attach them to make it work? Thanks!
What kind of yarn did you use? Is it a stiff yarn like Red Heart or a softer yarn? You could try stitching the ear both in the front and the back at the bottom of the ear. The only other idea I have is to attach the inside of the ear to the very bottom of the ear and put a tiny bit of stuffing, like polyester fiberfill, between the two layers.
I just completed the hat and donated it in my Zumba class. We donate stuff for Christmas to 6 families at a local elementary school. I used Red Heart for the main part of the hat and a bright pink sparkle yarn for the inside ears and the snout. It turned out really cute! Thanks for the pattern!
Love both pig and sheep hat patterns. They are easy and your directions are clear. Have been telling everyone about your website. We made the hat’s for our Church’s upcoming VBS… Thank you!!!
Love love your hats! Just as an FYI– it looks like in the pig nose instructions, row 3 is missing.
Thank you for the lovely pattern! As always, your patterns are so easy to follow and I just love the adorable designs!
Sarah, your patterns are fun and easy to follow. This is my second year of hat making- last year they were Tiger and Daniel Tiger types, this year is Peppa the Pig.
Thank you kindly for sharing your patterns!
