Love love love this pattern. Made two: one for my boyfriend and one that is NOT leaving my house. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Zero complaints.
Worth every penny. Finished in the length of a football game. The tail feathers is my favorite part. Already eyeing the other animals.
I screamed a little when I finished the face. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. Gave it to myself, honestly. I've been asked for four more. This got me out of a crochet slump. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. My new go-to gift.
Finished my Dove last night! Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. This got me out of a crochet slump. Made two: one for my son's nursery and one that is NOT leaving my house. Thanks for a great pattern!
Absolutely adorable. I've been crocheting for 30+ years and this was perfect for me. The shaping on the tail feathers is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. It went to my Etsy shop and now the whole family wants one.

My Dove is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. The beak and the tail feathers are what make it look like an actual Dove instead of a blob. This got me out of a crochet slump. Can't wait for more from this shop.
Love love love this pattern. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. I made it in worsted acrylic from my stash and the tail feathers still came out crisp. Zero complaints.
Love love love this pattern. I crochet between classes and this was perfect for me. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Gave it to a 5th birthday party. I've been asked for four more. Perfect gift pattern.
I've already made three of these. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the beak. Took me a week of lunch breaks start to finish including sewing on the beak. Go get it.
I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. I'm a grandma of six, and this one still taught me something. Made it in a weekend with a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft. Very satisfying little project. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Go get it.
So happy with how my Dove turned out. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. Thanks for a great pattern!
Could not be happier with this. The shaping on the smooth body shape is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern.
Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. Gave it to a coworker's baby shower. I've been asked for four more. Will be making this again.
It's fine. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. Finished it, it's cute, but assembly was more frustrating than fun.
Yes. Just yes. Did the tail feathers in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Great TV-watching project. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. Already eyeing the other animals.
Cute result, took a little fiddling. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the wings.
Very cute, minor hiccup. I've made maybe a dozen amigurumi and this was perfect for me. The shaping on the tail feathers is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. I appreciated the note about stuffing the smooth body shape firmly before closing. Made a difference. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise.
Great pattern, not quite perfect. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. The beak instructions could use one more photo.
Finished my Dove last night! I crochet on my breaks so I was nervous, but it went fine. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy.
Nearly five stars. My Dove came out perfect toddler size using Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn. It went to my boyfriend and now the whole family wants one. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. Sewing on the beak took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi.
Hands down the best Dove pattern out there. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). This one's for my goddaughter. Already planning the next one. Took me a week of lunch breaks start to finish including sewing on the wings. Perfect gift pattern.
Happy overall. This got me out of a crochet slump. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.
Okay pattern. I squeeze crochet in during nap time and this was perfect for me. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the beak goes. I've bought Dove patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. My Dove came out bigger than I expected using sock yarn and a 2mm hook for a mini version. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Finished it, it's cute, but assembly was more frustrating than fun.
Hands down the best Dove pattern out there. This was my very first amigurumi, and this one still taught me something. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). I left out the tail feathers by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Would give six stars if I could.
10/10 would crochet again. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). I left out the smooth body shape by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Would give six stars if I could.
Really nice pattern with one small gripe. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead. Still recommend.
This was a joy to make. Finished in a week of lunch breaks. The beak is my favorite part.

Yes. Just yes. I make these for my Etsy shop so I was nervous, but it went fine. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Dove. I appreciated the note about stuffing the beak firmly before closing. Made a difference. Perfect gift pattern.
Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? I crochet a few evenings a week and this was perfect for me. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Made it in a flight to Denver with a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft. Already eyeing the other animals.
