A free crochet bird pattern for a round little bluebird with a peach chest, perched on a short brown branch with a green leaf. The amigurumi bluebird has bright blue feathers, darker blue wings and tail, a tiny charcoal beak, shiny eyes and pink cheeks, and its little feet grip the branch. It is about 8 cm (3 in) tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook: the body is one piece worked in the round in single crochet with the chest colour changes, and the wings, tail, two branch halves, leaf and 12 mm safety eyes are added. Follow the row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and use the interactive 3D model to check every piece.
