Introduction Welcome to this tutorial on how to make an amigurumi bird. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a cute little bird that can be used for Easter decorations or any other craft project. We will be using Catania yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook for this project. Let's get started!

Materials Needed Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. You will need Catania yarn in various colors, a crochet hook, wadding, beads for the eyes, needle and thread, a wool needle, and scissors. You can find these materials at your local haberdashery store or online.

Making the Bird's Body To start making the bird's body, we will create a magic ring and work in a spiral. Follow the instructions below:

1. Make a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring.
3. Pull the thread and close the circle.
4. Round 2: Work 6 increases (inc) by working 2 sc stitches into each stitch from the previous round.
5. Round 3: Work (1 sc, 1 inc) into each stitch from the previous round (18 stitches).
6. Round 4: Work (5 sc, 1 inc) into each stitch from the previous round (21 stitches).
7. Round 5: Work (6 sc, 1 inc) into each stitch from the previous round (24 stitches).
8. Rounds 6 and 7: Work 24 sc stitches in each round.
9. Cut the thread and do the invisible color change.

Making the Wings Next, let's make the wings for our amigurumi bird. Follow the steps below:

1. Make a slip knot and work 6 chain stitches.
2. Starting from the second chain stitch, work 2 sc, 1 half double crochet (hdc), (1 hdc, 1 double crochet) in 1 stitch.
3. In the last chain stitch, work 5 double crochet stitches.
4. Work on the other side of the chain stitches, working 1 double crochet and 1 half double crochet in the next stitch, 1 sc, 2 slip stitches, and 1 slip stitch in the first sc to close the round.
5. Make two identical wings.

Making the Beak Now let's make the beak for our amigurumi bird. Follow these instructions:

1. Make a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 4 sc stitches into the magic ring.
3. Round 2: Work (1 inc, 1 sc) into each stitch from the previous round (6 stitches).

Assembling the Bird Now that we have all the components ready, let's assemble our amigurumi bird. Follow these steps:

1. Use a few stitches to sew the wings to the body. You can sew them completely or leave the back part free.
2. Sew the beak to the front of the body with a few stitches.
3. Secure all the threads inside the amigurumi by passing the needle and thread several times through the same hole.
4. Sew the beads for the eyes using a needle and thread.
5. Your amigurumi bird is now ready!
