I will share with you a plush bird amigurumi pattern named Birdie, designed by Natalia Vilkot, who designed very cute amigurumi toys in the past and whose designs we have been deprived of recently. The crochet pattern, which you can also download as a PDF, has a lot of details. Having photos of the pieces you will make will be very helpful when making the toy.
Birdie the Plush Purple Bird Crochet Free Pattern
The height of the crochet bird toy, excluding the comb, is approximately 19 cm. The designer used Himalaya Dolphin Baby plush yarn and 4 mm crochet hook to make this bird. The crochet bird is very cute and funny.
