Lilttle Fluffy Birds Amigurumi

My friend gave me her stash yarns a few years ago.  She had a nice collection of luxury yarn, and she generously gave them to me.  I took one of the yarns in my hands and waited for an inspiration of next Amigurumi project to come.  The yarn had a super soft texture, and I was easily able to imagine the baby birds sitting in their nest.  I like both crochetting and knitting when I work on Amigurumi.  For this little bird, I decided to use knitting technique to keep the soft and smooth texture on the surface of Amigurumi body.  Finished size is about 4 inches (height).

Materials are as follows. 
  • Size 6 Double Pointed Needles
  • Yarn : short fuzzy type of novelty yarn (sport weight or fine weight)
  • A pair of 12mm safety eyes (solid black with washers)
  • Size 2.75mm crochet hook and small amount of sock yarn for 'beak' and 'eyebrows.'
  • Tapestry needle to finish.  

This is the back style.
