Amigurumi – Crochet Sparrow “Tweepy”

Crocheting an Amigurumi Crochet Sparrow is a breeze with this detailed crochet pattern. The crocheted sparrow “Tweepy” captivates with its compact and simple form. The large eyes invite cuddling and playing, and the Amigurumi Sparrow fills an adult’s hand completely.

Introduction: Amigurumi – Crochet Sparrow “Tweepy”

To successfully crochet the Amigurumi Sparrow, it is essential to prepare in advance. Here you will find all necessary information about prerequisites, materials, and size. If you need help, you can follow the additional links.

Attention! Amigurumis are very cute and, therefore, not only popular among adults. Children often see them as toys, so you should be especially careful. Amigurumis that are not intended for play should be kept out of the reach of children. If an Amigurumi is meant to be played with by children, you should strictly adhere to the guidelines for toys. If you plan to give away or sell Amigurumis (license for sellers), you must strictly adhere to the legal requirements for toys and display the required CE marking.

Prerequisites

The successful implementation of this crochet pattern for the Amigurumi Sparrow assumes that you are familiar with the following crochet techniques. If this is not yet the case, you will find detailed tutorials here to learn them quickly.

• Crochet Magic Ring
• Decreases
• Half Double Crochet Stitches (US!)
• Increases
• Single Crochet Stitches (US!)
• spiral rounds

Note! By offsetting regular increases and decreases, they become almost invisible. You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you.

Note! Using a special technique for invisible decreases makes them nearly invisible. Although this technique requires a bit of practice, it’s worth giving it a try.

Supplies

The materials used for the depicted Amigurumi Sparrow are listed here. If you want to crochet the Amigurumi Sparrow with a different yarn, you must use a needle size that matches. To achieve an identical result, it is advisable to use the same materials as much as possible. In addition to the materials, you will find in the following list all the necessary tools and supplies.

Note! The specified yarn was used for the example shown here. In principle, you can use any yarn and an appropriate needle size. However, the quality of the material also affects the quality of the result, so you should avoid cutting corners in the wrong place. Also, the thickness of the yarn and the needle will influence the size of the outcome, which you can, of course, intentionally take advantage of.

Note! I have used safety eyes here. If you have never attached safety eyes before, you can also find detailed instructions on how to attach safety eyes here. In addition to a wide selection of other safety eyes, there are also numerous alternatives for amigurumi eyes. Simply use the eyes that you like best.

Size

Here are the size specifications for the crocheted sparrow. The height was measured while sitting. Please note that the actual size depends on the yarn used, the size of the crochet hook, and individual crochet tension.

Needle Size	Yardage	Size
Crochet Hook B, C or 1 1/2	137 yds / 1.75 oz	6 inches
Crochet Hook C, D or 2 1/2	120 yds / 1.75 oz	?
Crochet Hook E or 4	93 yds / 1.75 oz	?

Note! If you want to change the size, you can simply use a thicker or thinner yarn with a suitable needle size. Simply doubling the rounds, rows, and stitches, on the other hand, will only result in an uneven outcome.

Crochet Pattern: Amigurumi – Crochet Sparrow “Tweepy”

For the Amigurumi Crochet Sparrow, we first crochet the head, body, wings, beak, and legs. Afterward, all parts are sewn together, and then your crocheted sparrow is already finished.

Crochet Sparrow Head (1x)

The head for the Crochet Sparrow is crocheted from top to bottom with single crochet stitches (US!) in spiral rounds. The head receives safety eyes, is filled and stuffed, but not completely closed.

Note! If you want to achieve a particularly beautiful result, you can hide regular increases and decreases by offsetting them a little. You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you. Additionally, you can apply a special crochet technique here for invisible decreases.

Finish Amigurumi Sparrow

Once all parts are finished crocheting, you can sew your Amigurumi Sparrow together. However, it is helpful to put the items together with pins. So you see if the positions are correct and can still easily make changes.

Sew Head to Body

First, we sew the head all around to the body. Both openings face each other. The pointed side of the body is the center of the back, and the midpoint between the eyes is on the front. You can orient yourself using the pattern for sewing open parts together.

Sew Beak to Head

Then we sew the beak with the thread end around to the head. For this, you put it around once with pins. It sits exactly in the middle between the eyes, with the upper edge sitting at a height with the upper edge of the eyes. Now you can sew the beak piece by piece. Shortly before closing, the beak is filled and stuffed again. Finally, you secure the thread end inside.

Sew Wings to Body

Next, fold the wings flat and sew them to the body with the openings using the thread ends. They sit horizontally around the 27th round and have a distance of 14 stitches on the front. Once the wings are securely sewn, secure the thread ends inside the body.

Sew Legs to Body

Now we sew the legs with the flat-folded opening to the underside of the body. Use the thread ends for sewing and secure them later inside the legs. The legs sit around the 9th round with a distance of 4 stitches in the middle.

Done!

Well done! Your Amigurumi Sparrow looks surely great, and we would be happy if you leave us a comment with a photo of your work.
