The Pigeon

This crochet pattern is based on The Pigeon, the children’s book character created by Mo Willems. It is purely fan art, and not affiliated with the book series. It helps to be familiar with amigurumi and basic embroidery techniques to complete him successfully. Be sure you are comfortable crocheting in continuous rounds (a spiral) with the magic ring technique before you begin. You will also use the no-cut join technique (don't worry—I’ll teach you how). **Skill level:** INTERMEDIATE **Stitches/Abbrev. used (US terms):** ch: chain dec: decrease (all decreases are invisible decreases) FLO: front loop only FO: finish off inc: increase (two sc in same st) MR: magic ring sc: single crochet sk: skip sl st: slip stitch sl st-dec: slip stitch decrease (it’s exactly what it sounds like—start an invisible decrease as usual, but complete a sl st instead of a sc) st/sts: stitch/stitches **Yarn colors:** light blue, white, black, yellow **Other materials:** White felt Stitch markers Scissors Stuffing Straight pins Tapestry needle Two 14mm safety eyes Craft glue
