I was asked by the BSA Wood Badge crew to make Bobwhites and was unable to find anything. Once again, I found myself taking notes and creating another free pattern to remedy that problem. To all those BSA Wood Badge Bobwhites out there, you were not forgotten!

This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn. I’ve included the specific yarns I used. If you would like to use different brands, that’s fine too. Any worsted weight yarn is fine. Feel free to make this little guy your own. I don’t have a specific amount needed for each color. But I can tell you that I was able to make 5 full bobwhites off of the 5 oz. skein of yarn I used for the upper body and wings. I used scrap yarn for the feet, beak & eyes, head, and face patches. So, not very much was needed. It also describes splitting the yarn in half to 2-ply for a few parts. This is because I’m kind of cheap and it’s what I have on hand. If you would prefer to use a sport weight or other lighter weight yarn, feel free to.

This pattern was created for the intended purpose of making donatable items for the BSA Wood Badge fundraiser. I give permission to freely make items from this pattern to sell or donate, or for personal use. I only ask that you please help me keep this pattern free and available for its intended use by not selling or claiming the pattern as your own. An intermediate skill level and experience with amigurumi is recommended. There are pictures throughout the pattern, including the end, to aid in placement of pieces. I recommend reading through the entire pattern before beginning. Happy crocheting!

Update:
An error in the pattern was found and corrected. Row 20 of the upper body should read:
Sc2tog, sc in next 14 sc, Sc2tog, ch1, turn (16).
The error has been corrected within the pattern pdf and an updated version posted.
