European Robin Amigurumi – Free Pattern

I received several requests from you for a European Robin Amigurumi and so I thought it’s time to finally finish my pattern!

This Robin amigurumi is a great project for intermediate as well as seasoned crocheters! You don’t necessarily have to use it to make a robin. You can let your creativity flow and make any any bird you like. There’s also a video tutorial on my YouTube channel, in case you need visual guidance.

You can purchase the pdf version of this pattern for a small fee here.

You can purchase the Ribblr version of the pattern for a small fee here.

A small pattern change in round 6 makes this version of the robin appear more chubby.

This pattern is written in US crochet terms. You can convert it to British terms using my conversion chart.

I would love to see your Robin amigurumi! Share your creation on Instagram and tag me @stellasyarnuniverse for the monthly chance to win a pdf pattern of your choice from my Etsy shop! Winners are announced on my Instagram page @stellasyarnuniverse every 1st of the month!
