Love love love this pattern. Crochet is my anxiety outlet and this was perfect for me. Finished in one lazy Sunday. The wings is my favorite part. I appreciated the note about stuffing the beak firmly before closing. Made a difference. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Zero complaints.
Nearly five stars. This one's for our foster kiddo. Already planning the next one. I've bought Pigeon patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. I liked that the color changes for the beak are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. My one gripe is the beak took a few tries to get symmetrical.
Okay pattern. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. The stitch count on one round of the wings didn't match for me (could be my error).
I've already made three of these. I'm newly retired and finally have time and this was perfect for me. 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. Took me a flight to Denver start to finish including sewing on the beak.
This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. Did the beak in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Great pattern, not quite perfect. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Way better written than the free version I tried first. I'd love a yardage estimate per color, not just total.

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. 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.
Cutest thing I've ever made. Did the wings in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Took me a rainy afternoon start to finish including sewing on the wings. If you're on the fence, buy it.
Could not be happier with this. Took me a weekend start to finish including sewing on the beak. Download link came through instantly after checkout. Very satisfying little project. Made two: one for my goddaughter and one that is NOT leaving my house.
Mixed feelings. I appreciated the note about stuffing the neck shading firmly before closing. Made a difference. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the chunky body section.
Worth every penny. I crochet on my breaks, and this one still taught me something. It went to my goddaughter and now the whole family wants one. Download link came through instantly after checkout.
Liked it a lot. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise.
It's fine. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Gave it to a Secret Santa. I've been asked for four more. I liked that the color changes for the beak are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. The shaping on the wings is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.
My Pigeon is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I made it in bulky yarn to make it extra big and the beak still came out crisp. Very satisfying little project. I've bought Pigeon patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the wings. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.
Worth every penny. I made it in bulky yarn to make it extra big and the chunky body still came out crisp. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. This one's for my wife. Already planning the next one. I've bought Pigeon patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Will be making this again.
Nearly five stars. Emailed a question about the wings and got a friendly reply the same day. The first round of the beak was a bit confusing until I reread it.
This Pigeon came out SO cute. My mom for Mother's Day squealed. Mission accomplished.
It's fine. This one's for my Etsy shop. Already planning the next one. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the beak section.
Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Used a 3.5mm hook and it came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn. Made two: one for my grandson and one that is NOT leaving my house. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up.
I've already made three of these. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the neck shading goes. Buying the whole set next.
I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. Finished in one evening. The chunky body is my favorite part.
Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. Made it for a church bazaar and they have not put it down since. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. Will be making this again.
Ok this is my new favorite pattern. The neck shading and the wings are what make it look like an actual Pigeon instead of a blob.
Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Zero complaints.
It's fine. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.
Really nice pattern with one small gripe. My Pigeon came out about 6 inches tall using leftover scraps. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Still recommend.
