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.
