Angry Bird is one of my mom’s favorite games and since I

have made her seventy three billion NobyNoby Boys, it
seemed a good idea to go with something different for her
xmas gift this year, so Angry Birds it was. Things were down to
the wire (it’s been nuts this year), so two amis were all I could
put together, but I do believe they were a hit.

I realize there are already several patterns for these available

online but between the significant portion of them that were
pay (tsk tsk!), the simpler than ideal shaping on some (pig is
not a perfect ball people… he’s just not!) and my general (read
TOTAL) reluctance (read UNWILLINGNESS) for reading or
following any pattern (inclusive of my own) I decided to whip
mine up on the fly all the while keeping decent enough notes
to publish the pattern since it’s been a while and you’ve all
been so fabulously patient.

Pattern Details These were made using a 3.5 mm crochet

The pig never saw it coming...
hook and my stash of 100% cotton worsted weight yarn,
colours listed below. They stand around 6 inches tall. The
facial details are felt fabric glued to the surface and 6mm black safety eyes were used
for the eyes. Some pieces are worked in joined rounds while others are spiral. The
pieces in joined rounds typically need symmetry and will turn out better if worked in
joined rounds vice spiral. The pieces calling for spiral will look better that way. While it
may seem weird to keep switching from one to the other, it’s recommended the
directions are followed for optimal results.
