PATTERN NOTES

It is not necessary to use the recommended yarn and crochet hook to make this
amigurumi. Using a larger crochet hook, and suitable yarn, the amigurumi will be
bigger while preserving the same proportions.
The pattern is mainly worked using the “amigurumi” method: working in a continuous
spiral without closing off the round with a slst. It may help to use a stitch marker in
the last stitch of each round, moving it up as you work.
Follow the color chart at page 3 and the color guide on the left of the instruction.

CONSTRUCTION

Bird’s body is worked in one piece from the top down.
All the details are sewn to the body.

Before sewing
in place all the pieces,
use sewing pins to try
the best position!

If the feet look too soft
and the fingers do not stay
upward, try to soak them
with a drop of PVA glue
and water. Let it dry before
sewing and do not soak the
tail for sewing! *The result
may vary depending on the
kind of yarn you’re using.
