PDF for Kreekee, Young Prince of the Crows Amigurumi Crochet Pattern Only, not the Finished Product

Meet Kreekee, the young prince of the crows, trying to find his way home to claim his kingdom—or maybe figure out if he even wants to. This crochet pattern brings him to life as a 12 cm tall crow (using DK yarn and a 2.75 mm hook) with uniquely constructed feathers and semi-poseable legs, head, wings, and tail. Kreekee is also a character in my Lizards’ Choice story pattern, where he’s one of the lizard’s unexpected encounters.

This 18 page pattern includes 34 colour images to guide you through each step and a video tutorial showing a new method for creating the feathered wings, tail, and face crests. Because of the intricate feather details and unique way of crocheting them, I recommend this pattern for intermediate to advanced makers.

Key Details:

Size: Approximately 12 cm tall when made with DK yarn and a 2.75 mm hook.
Yarn & Hook: Designed for DK weight yarn, but you can use another weight as long as it’s consistent. Gauge isn’t critical, but keep it tight. Example images use Classic 8PLY Wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills.
Skill Level: Intermediate to advanced due to the detailed feather techniques.
Full Colour PDF: 18 pages, written in US crochet terms

Materials:

Yarn – The pattern is made for DK weight yarn, but being Amigurumi, gauge isn’t super important (as long as it’s tight), and you can easily switch it out for a different weight. Just make sure all the yarn used is the same weight and it should still work. I’ve used small bits of Classic & Prism 8PLY Wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills for my crow. With DK weight yarn and a tight gauge your crow should end up around 12cm tall.
Colour A: Beak and foot/leg colour
Colour B: Head, body, wings, tail colour
2.75mm crochet hook to keep the stitches nice and tight. Depending on your yarn you may need to go up or down sizes to match.
Stuffing
Sewing pins to keep things in place as you stitch them together (not absolutely necessary, but can help keep things from sliding around)
Stitch marker to keep track of rounds (I use an extra little piece of yarn)
Yarn needle (or smaller if you prefer to attach pieces with thread), scissors
