Today, the new daily crochet pattern Amigurumi Hoopoe Free Crochet Pattern, I want to give you some information about this pattern;

The hoopoe is a rather stylish bird, with a ruffled crown of
feathers and striking black and white wings, it looks full of
attitude! To defend their territory, they puff up their crests to
make themselves big and will use their long, sharp beaks to
ward off intruders. Even the little chicks can stick up for
themselves, hissing like snakes if someone comes near the
nest (let’s not mention their other less savoury means of selfdefence…). Researchers discovered hoopoes love listening
to music, bobbing their heads to the beat – just imagine a
bunch of these rockers at a concert!

Dimensions
30cm (12in) tall
Yarns
Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK (100% cotton) 125m (137yds) per 50g
(1¾oz) ball:

Other tools and materials
Pair 10.5mm black safety eyes

FUN FACT
Hoopoes’ wing movements in
flight resemble those of a butterfly.
When courting, the male hoopoe
brings tasty gifts to impress the
female.
Tension (gauge)
Tension is not critical for this project, but if you want to match the
pattern shown here, make a small circular swatch using the chosen
yarn and hook (see Tools and materials: Tension swatch for the
swatch pattern).
When made in DK weight cotton with a 3mm (US C/2 or D/3) hook
the swatch should measure 3.5cm (1⅜in) across.
Project notes
The body of the hoopoe is worked
in one piece and shaped with
decreases, with the tail worked
from the body at the end.
Decorative feathers and wings are
sewn on.
Special stitches
Front loop only (FLO): Insert the hook under the front loop only
(see Crochet techniques: Front loops/back loops).
