Crafty Kat: Crocheted Blue Budgie Bird

Welcome to my blog

If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.

This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.

I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!

If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.

Take care!

Crocheted Blue Budgie Bird

Crocheted blue budgie bird

I crocheted a friend for my cockatiel, Noel. It's a cute little (big) blue budgie. Noel was very impressed with this stuffy, lol.

I wanted to add more photos, but blogger won't let me. I've been having trouble with the photo uploader all day. I hope they'll fix it soon.

I found the pattern on Ravelry; it's called Budgerigars. It's a cute pattern that works up in 4 pieces; the head and body are one piece, the tail is one piece, and the wings are 1 piece each. I used pipe cleaners for the feet.

The pattern as written would make a very big bird, as it's all double crochet. For my bird, I followed the pattern but did single crochet every place that called for double crochet.
