Bluebird of Happiness Plush Crochet Pattern! 🐦💙🧶✨

[Suguri]

Bluebird of Happiness Amigurumi Plush

My favorite TBT collectible has always been the Bluebird of Happiness Plush from the 2022 TBT Fair event. Since an IRL version of it hasn't been released yet (please staff!!), I decided to crochet my own to keep me company just like the one I have on the forums! (Thank you so much again @ZeldaCrossing64 ) And since I'm pretty sure people would want one too, I thought it would be a good idea to write a pattern for it as well. Of course, you'll need to know basic crochet skills to make this bird!

This is the first pattern I've written and completed so there's probably a few mistakes somewhere. If you find any, please let me know, and I'll fix it ASAP!

Worsted weight yarn in light blue, dark blue, white, orange, yellow, and pink
4mm crochet hook

Stuffing
Safety eyes or black yarn for eyes

Abbreviations

Oh my goodness, that's so adorable, precious, and well-made!!

It looks so soft! I can tell it was made with a lot of love.

I know absolutely nothing about crocheting, but this is so impressive for your first written pattern! Seeing so many crochet creations on TBT makes me so happy! Such a cutie patootie, thank you for sharing!!

I already put a similar message in my thread, but to put it simply: yes, there are mistakes after all. I found them while testing the pattern, so…I guess that means I’ll be fixing them.

I will make another post when I feel that the pattern is good enough, so expect some small changes to the thread over time. I want it to be accurate and consistent with the photos!
