Absolutely adorable. Crochet is my anxiety outlet and this was perfect for me. I've bought Sparrow patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me.
So happy with how my Sparrow turned out. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Can't wait for more from this shop.
Hands down the best Sparrow pattern out there. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Used Red Heart Super Saver and it came out perfect toddler size. Already eyeing the other animals.
Love love love this pattern. I squeeze crochet in during nap time and I had no trouble at all. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. I made it in Lion Brand Pound of Love and the wing stripes still came out crisp. Zero complaints.
Five stars, no notes. Crochet is my anxiety outlet so I was nervous, but it went fine. Emailed a question about the wing stripes and got a friendly reply the same day. This one's for a NICU donation drive. Already planning the next one. Already eyeing the other animals.

This Sparrow came out SO cute. I crochet between classes, and this one still taught me something. Took me a flight to Denver start to finish including sewing on the tail. I appreciated the note about stuffing the wing stripes firmly before closing. Made a difference. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. My new go-to gift.
Could not be happier with this. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. The tail and the wing stripes are what make it look like an actual Sparrow instead of a blob. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Great TV-watching project.
Hands down the best Sparrow pattern out there. The proportions are spot on. The tail is the perfect size. If you're on the fence, buy it.
So happy with how my Sparrow turned out. Gave it to my husband (he loves them). I've been asked for four more. I liked that the color changes for the tail are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'.
Yes. Just yes. I'm a grandma of six and this was perfect for me. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Download link came through instantly after checkout.
Finished my Sparrow last night! Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. The tail and the wing stripes are what make it look like an actual Sparrow instead of a blob. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up.
Love love love this pattern. I crochet between classes and this was perfect for me. This one's for the nursing home craft table. Already planning the next one. Finished in about 4 hours. The tail is my favorite part. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.
Mixed feelings. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. My book club swap squealed. Mission accomplished. Quick enough that I can price the finished ones reasonably. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). The stitch count on one round of the tail didn't match for me (could be my error).
Good pattern, would recommend with a caveat. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns and this was perfect for me. Very satisfying little project. A 5th birthday party squealed. Mission accomplished. The first round of the cheek patches was a bit confusing until I reread it. Would still buy again.
I've already made three of these. The beak and the cheek patches are what make it look like an actual Sparrow instead of a blob. Highly recommend.
Not bad, not amazing. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. My daughter squealed. Mission accomplished. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the beak goes. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the cheek patches section.
Finished my Sparrow last night! It went to a classroom prize box and now the whole family wants one. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. Buying the whole set next.
This Sparrow came out SO cute. I made it in a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft and the beak still came out crisp. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. I liked that the color changes for the cheek patches are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. This one's for our new neighbors. Already planning the next one. Perfect gift pattern.

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? I squeeze crochet in during nap time and I had no trouble at all.

Nearly five stars. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. I'd love a yardage estimate per color, not just total.
Perfect from start to finish. I liked that the color changes for the wing stripes are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. Made two: one for a 5th birthday party and one that is NOT leaving my house. I left out the tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
Good value, a few notes. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before so I was nervous, but it went fine. This got me out of a crochet slump. Made it in a week of lunch breaks with sock yarn and a 2mm hook for a mini version. The wing stripes is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Download link came through instantly after checkout. Sewing on the cheek patches took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi.
Okay pattern. I run a crochet club at my school and I had no trouble at all. My Sparrow came out about 6 inches tall using Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. This got me out of a crochet slump. This one's for our new neighbors. Already planning the next one. The wing stripes instructions tripped me up and I had to frog it twice.
Could not be happier with this. I appreciated the note about stuffing the tail firmly before closing. Made a difference. I've bought Sparrow patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Chef's kiss.
This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Our foster kiddo squealed. Mission accomplished. The beak and the cheek patches are what make it look like an actual Sparrow instead of a blob. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. Can't wait for more from this shop.
Great pattern, not quite perfect. I crochet on my breaks, and this one still taught me something. This one's for a teacher appreciation gift. Already planning the next one. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Sewing on the tail took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi. Would still buy again.
