This delightful pig is dressed in a professional yet adorable baker’s ensemble. She wears a light brown skirt reminiscent of fresh dough, layered with a strawberry pink apron that is the highlight of her outfit. The apron is lovingly decorated with colorful “sprinkle” beads, adding a pop of confectionery color. Underneath, she sports a crisp white puff-sleeve shirt. Her look is topped with a voluminous white baker boy hat, and she stays grounded in practical chocolate brown Mary Jane shoes. No baker is complete without her tools: she carries a unique pink donut box handbag with a clear window, a wooden rolling pin, and a freshly glazed donut (with a little taste test bite already taken!). This pattern is perfect for those who love food-themed dolls and intricate accessories.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Gauge & Finished Size
Work tightly in continuous spiral rounds for the pig body so the stuffing does not show. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, the finished pig stands approximately 26–28 cm (10–11 inches) tall. The clothing is designed to be removable for extra play value.
Construction Overview
The pig is constructed in standard amigurumi style: head, snout, ears, legs, body, and arms. The upper body incorporates white yarn to simulate the shirt, while the puff sleeves are part of the arm construction. The outfit consists of a separate skirt and apron. The baker hat is a separate accessory. The donut box bag is constructed from two circles with a spacer strip.
