Crochet Hummingbird Amigurumi Pattern
The pattern will guide you on which colors to use to make your hummingbird look real or whimsical. Once you finish crocheting the parts, you fill the body with stuffing to make it soft. Lastly, you add eyes and any extra decorations to give your hummingbird personality. It's a fun and cute project for people who enjoy crafting and making their own toys.
Materials Needed:
- 100% cotton yarn suitable for 2.0 - 3.0 mm hook in yellow, red, green, and black (feel free to choose your favorite colors)
- Crochet hook, size 2.0 mm or as referred to, number 2/0
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker or clip (optional)
- Pair of 6 mm safety eyes (or you can embroider them)
- Stuffing material
Body Pattern
Start with Green Yarn:
- Round 1: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into it.
- Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches).
- Round 3: Single crochet, increase, repeat around (18 stitches).
- Round 4: Two single crochets, increase, repeat around (24 stitches).
- Round 5: Single crochet in each stitch around (24 stitches).
Round 6: Single crochet in the next 8 stitches. Change to red yarn before closing the eighth single crochet.
- With red yarn, single crochet in the next 8 stitches. Change to green yarn before closing the last single crochet.
- Continue with green for the remaining stitches in this round (24 stitches total).
Change Pattern and Colors:
From Rounds 7 through 9, follow a similar pattern of creating partial rounds in both colors, incrementing the red section by 2 each time and placing the safety eyes between rounds 6 and 7, focusing on where red begins or ends.
Switch to Yellow Yarn:
Round 10: Change to yellow yarn and work an increase in the next 5 stitches, then single crochet in the next 14 stitches, and another increase in the last 5 stitches (34 stitches).
Round 11-15: Single crochet in each stitch around (34 stitches each round).
Shaping the Body:
- For Rounds 16 to 19, follow the pattern to gradually decrease stitches, ultimately reducing the stitch count down to 12.
Finish with Green Yarn (Tail):
Round 20-27: Do not stuff yet. Change to green yarn and continue to single crochet in each stitch around for 8 rounds, each having 12 stitches. Stuff the piece before closing.
Close and Finish:
To close, switch to working single crochets horizontally over the tail piece, and then fold the piece horizontally to form the tail. Work 6 single crochets to join and finish off, hiding the end thread inside the piece.
