This is the pattern for a cockatiel appliqué. I do have this pattern available for free on my website if you would prefer that option. The link is down below, but I’ve made it available for people to download as well for $1 on Ravelry.

There is also a video tutorial for the pattern available on my YouTube channel at Crochet Cockatiel Tutorial.

I’ve used 2 ply cotton and a 1mm crochet hook, but you can use different sizes depending on what you’re most comfortable with.

• Any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat 2 ply crochet cotton colours (242) Metal Grey, (106) Snow White, (403) Lemonade, (074) Mercury, (254) Moon Rock, (189) Royal Orange and (393) Charcoal.
• A crochet hook, I used a 1mm hook.
• A darning needle to weave in ends.
• Scissors.
• Thread and needle to stitch the cockatiel together.
• Black thread to embroider on an eye.
