How to crochet 5 adorable birds!

[@black205036]

Hi there! I just wanted to thank you for creating such an amazing tutorial. Your generosity in sharing such valuable information is truly appreciated. I know you could easily sell this pattern for a good price, but instead, you've chosen to gift it to us. Thank you so much for your kindness and for inspiring us to keep on creating!

[@Amazon_213]

I love how clear your tutorials are, no need to be eagle eyed. They also really seed my creativity with the versatility of your patterns. I need to stop perching on the fence and just do-do it, no need to egg me on further. Sorry. I’m incorrigible. 😅

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Loooool thanks for joining in. Us weirdos gotta flock together 💙

Perfect! I have been looking for a pattern for both the cockatoo and cockatiel. Our beloved crappie the cockatoo had passed right when I got covd and an inner ear infection. We still have Birdito the cockatoo and his mate was white and grey! Tysm for the tutorial for all these lovely birds! ❤️❤️❤️

I am embarrassed to say that I almost did not watch this because I didn't think I would be able to understand you and the pattern but then I kept coming back looking at it and looking at it I'm so glad I stuck with it, this is the best instructions ever that I've seen in the way that you explain and show were stitches are going is amazing thank you so much for sharing❤

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I was able to make a macaw following your pattern for the structure of the body, and I am very happy with the result. Just subscribed, keep up your amazing work!

[@shellyslioneyes]

I love birds. Just found you and subbed!!! While there are many bird patterns out there, most are round balls with wings, tails and faces. I love real birds. I love to crochet. But I live to crochet real birds. I'm in love with these. I wish I had the knowledge to create patterns but I'm just not there yet. I love your channel and you because, unlike most designers, you too care about realism. The right colors. No hats and scarfs. Birds that have crests, like a cardinal, most ppl miss, and most forget feet. I APPRECIATE the details. And, for me, I have a 24" all season tree and want to create a forest full of birds. Summer, fall, winter, spring. Complete with many times of 2" birds. (Not my idea, Meiks idea and design), and I'm not there yet. So thank you because you just became one of my favorite crochet designers. I thank you so much for these REALISTIC birds!

[@voriaeveningflame]

I love this pattern! Thank you so much!!! I gave my cockatoo a more square tail and learned some new tips on how to do so by your sewing technique! Gracias! Fun birdie fact: Parrots, like these little guys, naturally have 2 toes in the front and 2 toes in the back, whereas passerine birds (songbirds, other perching birds, and birds of prey) have 3 toes in the front and 1 in the back. Other grasping birds like woodpeckers have their toes arranged like parrots. (Fun fact via my bird neediness XD)

This video was the perfect thing to wash my brain clean after following a bad algorithm suggestion. Thank you for being a talented, sweet, and calming person!

Girl, I hope you know how appreciated your content is! You're the reason I'm obsessed with crochet! I found your channel when I was a beginner and had no idea how versatile crochet could be! Your frog pattern got me hooked! ...get it? (Sorry, I had to lol.) I love that you make your content accessible to ALL, so beginners can see if they even like it before investing their money into crochet patterns. Thank you 😊🙏💕

[@michellejoubert1370]

Thank you, i love your video here. I am new to crocheting (about a month now) and have only been following videos. I love that you have the instructions printed out as well. Been pausing the video and going by the direction and if I need any help, or not sure how to do something, i can follow along with you. You are giving me confidence that soon I will be able to read patterns and not just need video's. Making the cockatiel for my 11 year old niece who lost hers this past year. She loves birds so much and know she will love this.

[@Lol98-wk18]

Hi can you tell me if you made any adjustments to the pattern ??? It looks weird on round 17 !!! The beak isn’t in the right place !!! I did it multiple times thinking i made a mistake but every time it’s the same thing!

[@jessicabeatrizdealmeida]

@@Lol98-wk18 Hi there! Omg, I thought it was just me! In my case, I noticed something wrong in round 14 . The "3 sc in 1" weren't symmetrical. Then I thought it was because of the beak (I used a different size of yarn, but with the same hook) - because it wasn't in the middle. However, I adjust everything from round 14 up to 25 (I kept the first half of the round and adjust middle to end). It was a little bit challenging and it didn't came out as the most perfect thing, but it looked good at the end. If you like so, I can write my adjustments here, but, honestly, I think the easiest thing to do in this scenario is to change the placement of the beak.

[@Lol98-wk18]

⁠​⁠@@jessicabeatrizdealmeida it’s so sweet of you to offer your input on the pattern but i’ve managed to do it! I did as you said and changed the placement of the beak, it turned out great ! thank you so much😊💓

Thank you SO much for this fabulous tutorial! I just made a brightly striped parrot for my son to wear on his shoulder to a pirate festival this weekend. It was interesting making horizontal stripes of colour across the circular wings but it came out looking great! :D

[@Ailorn]

I've made this pattern twice and I'm doing something odd and my stitch marker ends up too far forward around row 10 or 11. I fixed it by making sure the second increase in row 11 is under the chin and counting back my stich marker from there. The rest of the bird turned out correct. The first one was a cardinal with black around the beak and an orange beak and feet. My second was a black faced love bird with blue body, white ring, beak and feet. I've found the pattern challenging but very cute! Thank you so much

[@amikireicraftstore]

I'm excited ;-; ♡♡♡♡ My baby girl is a cockatiel ♡

I really love how those all look. I just wished I had the mental willpower, patience and physical endurance to go back to making amigurumi, but I find it hard to hold such a tiny crochet hook in my hand for longer periods of time to make tiny things, as cute and pretty as some end results are. But I admire your capacity to make those and release tutorials for the more courageous crocheters.

I can’t wait to make one! I’ll definitely try and make a macaw! I had a scarlet macaw plush and have met been able to find it and I loved it

[@jengetscreative]

Those who are confused on round 11, you have to do 6 SC. I counted them and the answer is 27! Btw Tysm for this tutorial! And I recommend using a stitch marker for beginners as sometimes, we can forget what stuck we are on and stitch marker helps a lot

Hey friend, something you said in one of your videos, the one where you didn't write down the owl pattern, and mentioned having to do all the work, now, I love watching your videos, you're my favorite KZbinr, however, that made me feel bad. I do not have the understanding of math in the same way you do. It's like a foreign language to me, and so I am unable to design my own patterns. I rely on hard working crocheters/KZbinrs like you to allow me to still carry on with my passion of crocheting as I find great peace and fun in those patterns. I tell everyone about your channel and get so excited for more content. I am very sorry that I don't understand math well enough to design my own projects, but I do appreciate all your hard work, and admire and envy your ability to understand math as easily as you do. It's something I've always struggled with and something I've always tried very hard at. I had to be honest and tell you, when you said that, it hurt my feelings, and even more so because I have become so fond of your channel. I've saved almost all your videos on a playlist and watch them many times because they're entertaining and fun and relaxing, and I e purchased a few of the patterns from your Etsy shop, but I almost stopped because of this. It made me feel guilty for watching you crochet and that I didn't have a right to. I completely agree that any of your patterns you don't have to share but choose to, and I am subscribed to your channel, but I'm grateful you do share them because as I said it allows me to crochet when otherwise I wouldn't be able to. You don't know how badly I want to be able to design my own. 😢 Anyway, thank you for all the hard work you put into your patterns and filming. I know there's a lot behind the scenes we don't see. 😕😞

[@ChocoDomo95]

Hello !! I've started to learn to crochet only recently, and your series in teaching how you design your own patterns has been so helpful, in demystifying why we might make certain stitches where we do in order to create a particular shape; and I love your pokemon crochet series and i've ended up here because I have budgies at home and these are such delightfully shaped little friends Since you mentioned Articuno as a Patreon exclusive, I wonder if you might also consider attempting Hawlucha? Even if as a Patreon exclusive pattern, I'd be so interested in an overview type video in the vein of your masterclass, showing how you might handle his precise, pointed color changes, the shape of his head/body, and the double coloration on the back/front of his wings. He seems like he would combine, but also expand on? a lot of the skills/techniques both presented in this video and your shaping videos
