Okay for the price

Okay pattern. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the white head goes. The stitch count on one round of the yellow beak didn't match for me (could be my error).

Can't stop making these

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. Took me a long car ride start to finish including sewing on the talons. Already eyeing the other animals.

Great pattern

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns, and this one still taught me something. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. Very satisfying little project. Took me one lazy Sunday start to finish including sewing on the yellow beak. It was for a coworker's baby shower and it was the hit of the party. Go get it.

Baby shower hit

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. Made it for a classroom prize box and they have not put it down since.

Would buy again

Good pattern, would recommend with a caveat. I made it in bulky yarn to make it extra big and the talons still came out crisp. The wing spread is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Sewing on the talons took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi.

Needs a video

Decent, but I expected a bit more. I'm newly retired and finally have time and I had no trouble at all. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. The stitch count on one round of the white head didn't match for me (could be my error).

No frogging needed

Worth every penny. Crochet is my anxiety outlet and I had no trouble at all. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. Perfect gift pattern.

Perfect beginner pattern

Love love love this pattern. I crochet between classes and this was perfect for me. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. The proportions are spot on. The white head is the perfect size. This one's for my twin nephews. Already planning the next one. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the yellow beak. Will be making this again.

My Bald Eagle is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I've bought Bald Eagle patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished.

Love the talons

Absolutely adorable. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years, and this one still taught me something. Took me a weekend start to finish including sewing on the talons. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the talons. My goddaughter squealed. Mission accomplished. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

My new favorite

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the yellow beak. Took me a weekend start to finish including sewing on the yellow beak. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Finished in two nights

This Bald Eagle came out SO cute. I squeeze crochet in during nap time, and this one still taught me something. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Made two: one for a classroom prize box and one that is NOT leaving my house. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Mixed feelings

Mixed feelings. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns, and this one still taught me something. This got me out of a crochet slump. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Gave it to my husband (he loves them). I've been asked for four more. The wing spread and the yellow beak are what make it look like an actual Bald Eagle instead of a blob. A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.

10/10 would crochet again. Made two: one for my son's nursery and one that is NOT leaving my house. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. My new go-to gift.

No frogging needed

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. It went to my best friend and now the whole family wants one. My Bald Eagle came out roughly 8 inches using bulky yarn to make it extra big. Go get it.

This Bald Eagle came out SO cute. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

My Bald Eagle is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. This was my very first amigurumi and I had no trouble at all. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. My niece squealed. Mission accomplished.

Nearly perfect

Good pattern, would recommend with a caveat. I made it in a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft and the white head still came out crisp. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the talons goes. The yellow beak instructions could use one more photo.

Exactly as pictured

Five stars, no notes. Crochet is my anxiety outlet, and this one still taught me something. The proportions are spot on. The talons is the perfect size. Great TV-watching project.

Solid beginner pattern

Really nice pattern with one small gripe. Great TV-watching project. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise.

Cute with a tricky white head

Liked it a lot. I made it in velvet yarn (not recommended for beginners!) and the wing spread still came out crisp. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise. Four solid stars.

J
Joan Martinez
Bought the bundle after this

This was a joy to make. The proportions are spot on. The talons is the perfect size. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. Did the white head in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Could not be happier with this. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the talons.

Hands down the best Bald Eagle pattern out there. The shaping on the talons is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. Gave it to a Secret Santa. I've been asked for four more. Can't wait for more from this shop.

J. Fitzgerald
Good pattern

Solid pattern. I'm 15 and taught myself from YouTube and this was perfect for me. Quick enough that I can price the finished ones reasonably. This got me out of a crochet slump. Sewing on the talons took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi. Would still buy again.

M
Maxine
My first amigurumi!

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I crochet between classes, and this one still taught me something. Great TV-watching project. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. If you're on the fence, buy it.

Shannon Moreau
Grandkids approved

Okay WOW. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. The shaping on the white head is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern.

Cutest Bald Eagle ever

Cutest thing I've ever made. I left out the white head by accident and honestly it still looks cute. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets.
