The Pocket Goldfinch is a quick and low-sew amigurumi bird pattern. The head, body, beak, and tail are all done using no-sew crochet methods. The only sewing required is to attach the wings to the body. This mini bird features clever color changes to create the distinct black and yellow look of a goldfinch. 

Crochet this cute, little feathered friend as a last-minute birthday present or holiday gift, or to stock up fast for spring craft fairs and summer markets!

 

Yarn

This sweet birdy is designed using plush and bulky chenille velvet yarn, but can be made with thinner yarns as well to create a smaller keychain or mini size.
