/// INFO ///////////////////////////////

Materials (not included in Digital download):

  • Fingering weight cotton yarn. I used Anchor Baby Pure Cotton (100% Cotton, 50g / 165m / 180yds) in colors: Dark blue 00270, Light blue 00271, Red 00115, Sand 00107
  • size B-1 / 2 or 2,25 mm hook, adjust the size depending on the yarn used
  • a pair of 12 mm safety eyes, adjust the size depending on the yarn used
  • pins
  • tapestry needle
  • stitch markers
  • toy stuffing

Size: 7” / 18cm tall when made with the indicated yarn

Skill level: Intermediate/Advanced (loop stitch, colorwork)

Notes: To make this amigurumi it isn’t necessary to use the recommended yarn and crochet hook. Using a larger crochet hook, and a suitable yarn, the amigurumi will be larger preserving the same proportions.

Construction: Body and head are worked in one piece starting from the bottom of the body.
All the other pieces are sewn to the body. The feather are made in loop stitches - another option that not require loop stitches is also included in the pattern.
