Space Blue Angry Bird

By Teresa Alvarez (July 2012)

About copyright: Its really something great when people like what I have designed.
You can sell the final item or whatever you like, but it would be nice to reference
where you found the pattern!

If there is anything you do not understand or there are any mistakes, please, send
me a message!
As you can see in the way I write, English is not my first language. So, you could
come across some mistakes and grammatical inconsistencies. Sorry and my
apologies!
This elephant is fun and fast to crochet. I have use pure wool to make it and decided
to felt it. I think the toy is lovely before felting and after felting.

ABOUT YARN:
Any yarn would do nicely.
Ive used a yarn from Stop (Spanish manufacturer) called Eco, it is a blend (acrylic
and cotton). The yardage is 50 gr. = 130 meters.

ABOUT GAUGE:
It is not important, as far as you are consistent with your tension.
ABOUT HOOK:
It depends on the yarn. Ive used a 3.25 mm hook. Remember that when making
amigurumis, stitches should be tight.
YOU WILL NEED:
Yarn for the angry bird: blue, yellow, orange and some black and white leftovers.
Two black eyes.
Stuffing.
Tapestry needle.
