This crochet pattern is based on The Pigeon, the children’s book character created by Mo Willems. It is purely fan art, and not affiliated with the book series.

It helps to be familiar with amigurumi and basic embroidery techniques to complete him successfully. Be sure you are comfortable crocheting in continuous rounds (a spiral) with the magic ring technique before you begin. You will also use the no-cut join technique (don’t worry—I’ll teach you how).
