The 10-minute baby bird is a completely no-sew amigurumi pattern! The beak and feet are crocheted onto its round, chubby body. With different yarn colors, you can crochet this tiny stuffed bird as a mallard duck, chick/chicken/hen, dove, or more! You can even attach a keyring to the top of its head to turn it into a mini keychain.

Yarn
This pattern is designed with super bulky weight chenille velvet yarn. I used Hobbii's Honey Bunny yarn, which produces a plush amigurumi! If you'd like a smaller version of this pattern, you're welcome to use thinner yarns and a smaller hook.
