Although it is a bit untimely, today I am sharing a bird. I am aware that I have not shared a crochet bird amigurumi pattern for a long time, but I was thinking of taking a break from such posts due to Halloween and Christmas. When I saw this cute crochet bird pattern today, I wanted to introduce it to you right away. Although the toy has a standard design, we see that it is decorated with a small flower. The wings of the toy with black big eyes are made quite simply and sewn to the body.

You must have noticed that the wings, beak and legs of the toy are made without stuffing. If you are ready for this bird amigurumi toy with a very delicate structure, let’s take a look.

-sew the tail evenly on the back of the bird underneath about a half of an inch where the attached part will not be visible. Approximately around round 36 of the body’s underside -sew the beak evenly between the eyes starting the top of the beak one row under the top of the eyes – sew the wings evenly spaced on the sides of the bird as shown in the reference images on the row under the neck color
-sew the feet under the bird where two toes stick out of the front and one is underneath the bird about 3 stitches apart
-sew the flower to the side of the head, or where you like, by sewing through the center of the flower only to allow the petals to be more natural -add face details such as eye color and blush using contrasting yarn colors 🙂
