Free crochet guinea pig pattern: a Potato Guinea Pig amigurumi, about 6 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. The toy is a long, low brown bean with a white band and a ginger rump, tiny rose ears set high on the sides, small black eyes and a pink nose. You need about 55 m of yarn: 30 m brown, 10 m ginger, 10 m white and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Made of one stuffed body and two tiny ears, it suits first-time amigurumi makers and anyone who loves guinea pigs. Turn the 3D model around and follow the pattern round by round.

- Size before assembly: about 6.8 cm at the widest, 10.9 cm long; 35 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre top line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R21).
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Press the piece flat to about 5.8 cm thick (oval cross-section).<!-- press the piece flat by 15 % --> Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: about 2.2 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 4 rounds.
- Change to ginger (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R1).
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–2 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 2.7 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–4 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 22 mm across.<!-- (dish 80 %) -->
