This is the pattern for a toucan 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 Toucan 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 (110) Black, (281) Tangerine, (106) Snow White, (254) Moon Rock and (242) Metal Gray.

• A crochet hook, I used a 1mm hook.

• A darning needle to weave in ends.

• Scissors.

• Sewing thread and a needle to stitch the toucan together.

• A small black bead for the eye if desired.
