A 7" tall amigurumi of a raven. The pattern is available as a PDF on Ravelry or you can find it written below. If you have any questions feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.
Haven't had the time to make a new pattern recently, so here is an older one. Because he is so dark I have included outlines of the feathers to make them easier to see.
Materials:
▪ Worsted weight yarn in black, dark grey
▪ F hook (3.75 mm)
▪ Stuffing
▪ 12 mm safety eyes
▪ Scissors
▪ Tapestry needle
Difficulty: Easy
You should know how to work in the round, increase, and decrease.

ReplyDeletei"ve noticed that you have left out the head and beak from this tutorial but they are in the ravelry download, i would suggest updating the post to include them so as not to confuse people.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, thanks for pointing this out! The head and beak have been put in now.
DeleteOh my goodness!!! I love your patterns! You are completely and utterly talented! Your designs are well thought out and gorgeous to look at. I will be making all of them for my kids!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all of these cuties. I have a few freebies on my blog too. Come take a look @ aisforamigurumi.blogspot.com. I have a few more designs in progress for some more So So Happy dolls and Minecraft. I love your Mooshroom pattern! Check out the Enderman and Cuteness patterns on my blog. They seem to be the most popular so far.
Enjoy! I hope to see more from you soon.

Is there any sort of estimate on yardage used? I'm really interested in the pattern, and I think I have enough yarn but am unsure.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern! I'm making this for a friend of mine who absolutely loves ravens but I'm a little confused by the pattern. By (inc) around do you mean 2 sc in each stitch?
Hello! Yes, [inc] around means to do 2 single crochet in each stitch of the round.
DeleteThanks! I was having a blonde moment lol. On the ravelry pattern there's a typo in the right wing instructions. The 2nd chain 4 is on the wrong line. It should be the one above it but it might be easier to just make 2 left wings and attach the other one the opposite way. I'm almost finished the raven now but I seem to be having trouble with the legs. I just can't seem to get them right, so I used the same start as the beak but only used 5 st. I figure since they will be sewn on and you can't see the ends it doesn't make much difference
DeleteThank you so much! I adapted to make a cardinal (bird) for my friend who teaches at a school that has the cardinal as their mascot. She is using it in her 2nd grade class as a room-mascot. The kids love it. They named it "Hermie," and it sits on the desk of anyone who has done an especially good job on their work. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello, I am terribley confused! I have the version of the Raven that on round 13 It says "15 sc, ch 7, (sc) across the chs, sc in the next st, 14 sc, (sc,dec) six times (48). Okay I sc 15 then ch 7 now what do I do?? Do I attach the ch 7?? What does the rest mean. I know I am tired so I apologize for my confusion but I can't figure this out Thank you! ariadnedesarro@yahoo.ie
ReplyDeleteOkay now that I have looked at this version it is quite a bit different than the one off Ravelry. I like the fuller body but.... Please help me! ariadnedesarro@yahoo.ie
ReplyDeletei dont understand the instructions on attaching the toes and the legs
ReplyDeleteHello, I love this pattern but I'm getting horrible stuck on attaching the toes to the leg! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
