Silly Bird No Sew Amigurumi Pattern Notes

This little silly bird no-sew amigurumi patterns is the perfect quick project if you sell what you make or need a lot of cute somethings quick! Unlike my one hour turtle, I timed myself making one of these at 32 minutes (that was after making seven of them so I had the pattern down-but still!) The blanket yarn makes it work up fast, soft, and perfectly squishy. And if you get stuck, don’t worry, I’ve included video tutorials for the trickier parts.

These little amigurumi birds fit in the palm of my hand, measuring about 4 inches tall (not counting the legs.) The little legs dangle just like my silly goose– that is why I call it the Silly Bird! They are fun and whimsical and kids LOVE them!

You can choose to work with different yarn, just keep in mind that although many yarns are classified the same, they can work up much differently.

If you want to see some of my other silly birds, I’ve got a whole flock right here: The Silly Goose, the Silly Chicken, and the Squishy Chicken, too!

Notes:

This Silly Bird pattern is super quick to make and a fun, no-sew project! You will make the body first, then crochet on the feet, beak, wings, and top feathers. The only reason I recommend a yarn needle is to sew in the ends for these additions.

You can use safety eyes or try out embroidered eyes so it would be safe for a baby/toddler.

I have a collection of embroidery videos here.

I used blanket yarn for this pattern, a size 6 weight. I typically use Premier Basix Chenille, Bernat Blanket and Bernat Baby Blanket. I think these are interchangeable size wise. I use a 4.5mm hook for the Premier Basix Chenille and a 5mm for Bernat, which is much smaller than the recommended size on the label, but I want nice, tight stitches for this type of pattern. If this is too tight for you, size up a hook size until you can crochet comfortably but still have tight stitches.

Please be aware that even though the label may say it is size 6, some materials and brands work up much differently. Keep that in mind as you are choosing your yarn.
Suitable yarns could be regular Bernat Blanket, Premier Basix Chenille yarn or Cozy Cub from Michaels (formerly Big Twist from Joann’s).

Wings

Using Color A
On round 7, two stitches from the eye, insert your hook around the post of that stitch. Pull up the yarn (leaving a small tail to tie off and weave in) and chain 3 times. TRC around the next two posts. Chain 3 and slip stitch to the next stitch over. Fasten off and weave the end near the first tail. Tie a knot and weave in the ends. Repeat on other side. Scroll down or see here for the video tutorial!

Feather Tuft

Using Color B
Centered between the eyes, on the top of the head, insert your hook and pull up your yarn, leaving a small tail (to tie off and weave in.) Chain 4 times. One stitch away from the hook, slip stitch in the remaining 3 stitches. Slip stitch to the head. Chain 3 times. One stitch away from the hook, slip stitch in the remaining 2 stitches. Fasten off and weave the end near the first tail. Tie a knot and weave in the ends.

Beak

Using Color C
Right beneath the right eye, insert your hook and pull up your yarn, leaving a small tail (to tie off and weave in.) Chain once. HDC around the next two posts. Chain once and slip stitch in the next stitch. Fasten off and weave the end near the first tail. Tie a knot and weave in the ends. Video tutorial here!

Legs/Feet (make 2)

Note: The legs are intentionally dangly. The actual foot part is open, like a bell. The tail before you make your magic circle AND the one when you fasten off are both very important to the construction of the leg. The measurements I provide for length are probably more than you need, but I rather you be safe than sorry. Video Tutorial Here!

Silly Bird CHICKEN Mod:

Make the body in ALL white, beak and legs in mustard and then follow the instructions below for the comb!

Using red:
Centered between the eyes, on the top of the head,  insert your hook and pull up your yarn, leaving a small tail (to tie off and weave in.) Chain 4 times. One stitch away from the hook, slip stitch in the remaining 3 stitches. Slip stitch to the head, going towards the back of the head. Chain 4 times. One stitch away from the hook, slip stitch in the remaining 3 stitches. Repeat one more time for a total of three “spikes.” Fasten off and weave the end near the first tail. Tie a knot and weave in the ends.
