Easy Amigurumi Woodpecker Crochet Pattern - Beginner Friendly (PDF Download)

Worth every penny. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before and I had no trouble at all. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the red crest.

This Woodpecker came out SO cute. Way better written than the free version I tried first.

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. I sell at craft fairs and I had no trouble at all. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Zero complaints.

Cutest thing I've ever made. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns so I was nervous, but it went fine. Made it for myself, honestly and they have not put it down since. The beak is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Can't wait for more from this shop.

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. Took me two sittings start to finish including sewing on the tail feathers. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one.

Absolutely adorable. 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. Would give six stars if I could.

Could not be happier with this. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. A 5th birthday party squealed. Mission accomplished.

This was a joy to make. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years and this was perfect for me. Made two: one for a teacher appreciation gift and one that is NOT leaving my house. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the red crest goes. Chef's kiss.

Really nice pattern with one small gripe. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. The wing detail instructions could use one more photo.

I screamed a little when I finished the face. I'm newly retired and finally have time so I was nervous, but it went fine. Used worsted acrylic from my stash and it came out palm-sized. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

Perfect from start to finish. I make these for my Etsy shop and this was perfect for me. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. Will be making this again.

Perfect from start to finish. My book club swap squealed. Mission accomplished. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Very cute, minor hiccup. I crochet on my breaks and I had no trouble at all. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. Made two: one for my niece and one that is NOT leaving my house. Emailed a question about the wing detail and got a friendly reply the same day. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. The first round of the tail feathers was a bit confusing until I reread it.

Very cute, minor hiccup. I've made maybe a dozen amigurumi, and this one still taught me something. I've bought Woodpecker 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. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise. Four solid stars.

It's fine. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns and I had no trouble at all. I made it in leftover scraps and the tail feathers still came out crisp. Gave it to my niece. I've been asked for four more. A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.

Yes. Just yes. I make these for my Etsy shop and I had no trouble at all. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for.

Decent, but I expected a bit more. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. Made it in a rainy afternoon with Red Heart Super Saver. A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. I made it in Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and the wing detail still came out crisp. A church bazaar squealed. Mission accomplished. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Thanks for a great pattern!

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. The shaping on the red crest is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this.

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. The proportions are spot on. The red crest is the perfect size. Perfect gift pattern.

Cutest thing I've ever made. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Gave it to a church bazaar. I've been asked for four more.

10/10 would crochet again. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Chef's kiss.

Hands down the best Woodpecker pattern out there. This one's for a coworker's baby shower. Already planning the next one. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin.

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Chef's kiss.

Nearly five stars. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the tail feathers goes. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Still recommend.

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I checked and the shop allows selling finished items, which is why I bought it. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin.

Okay pattern. I run a crochet club at my school, and this one still taught me something. Used cotton DK and it came out about 6 inches tall. This one's for my boyfriend. Already planning the next one. The red crest instructions tripped me up and I had to frog it twice.

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. Very satisfying little project. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. The tail feathers and the beak are what make it look like an actual Woodpecker instead of a blob. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the tail feathers. Would still buy again.
