Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pig phone pouch by changing yarn colours; try pastel tones for a soft look or bright shades for a playful feel.

I sometimes swap the Jeans yarn for a sport or DK weight and a slightly larger hook to create a chunkier, cozier pouch—just remember the size will change.

I often replace the plastic safety eyes with embroidered eyes for a softer, child-friendly version or use larger eyes for a more whimsical expression.

You can turn the pig into other animals by changing ear shapes and muzzle details; for example, smaller pointy ears for a fox or longer ears for a bunny.

Instead of fabric glue I occasionally sew the head and flower pieces on for a more secure attachment if the pouch will be handled roughly.

If you want a zipper closure, crochet the pouch to the desired height and sew in a small zipper at the top instead of making the lid and button.

Make the shoulder strap shorter to create a wristlet or longer for a crossbody bag; you can also braid multiple yarn strands to make a decorative strap.

Embellish the flap with leather labels, buttons, or tiny tassels to add personal style and texture to the finished pouch.

Try adding a small internal lining fabric to protect phone screens and give a neat interior finish—sew the lining to the pouch inside before attaching the flap.

I sometimes make a matching set by crocheting a small coin pouch or earbuds holder using the same stitch pattern and motif for a coordinated gift set.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when working the foundation chain and turning rows can result in misaligned seams; place markers at the chain ends and at the start of rounds to maintain shape and spacing. ✗ Forgetting to check safety eye placement can make the face look off-center; insert safety eyes between the specified rows and leave the exact stitch gap indicated to preserve facial proportions. ✗ Overstuffing the head or legs causes lumps and a distorted silhouette; stuff gradually, stop when the piece matches the referenced rounds, and adjust fill until the shape is smooth. ✗ Using a different hook size without checking gauge can change pouch size and fit; test a small swatch and adjust hook or yarn weight to match the pouch dimensions listed for best results.

  • Use fabric glue to paste the branch into the pouch in the desired position beneath the pig's muzzle before attaching the flower.
  • Use fabric glue to paste the flower onto the branch in the pouch ensuring the cream petals surround the yellow center neatly.
  • Use fabric glue to paste the stuffed pig head onto the pouch front; position it so the eyes align with rows 11-12 and press firmly until secure.

Important Notes

  • 💡Place the safety eyes between rows 11-12 of the head with 6 stitches space between them before closing the head to ensure correct placement.
  • 💡Work the pouch in spirals and use stitch markers to mark the start of rounds if needed to keep track when shaping and creating the lid.
