This year, too, I wanted to share some BIG buddy plushie tutorials that are both colorful and make CUTE companions! And today’s crochet plushie also makes an irresistible companion with a proper backstory. Introducing the crochet pirate cosplay parrot buddy plushie that you can learn to crochet with this step-by-step tutorial for beginners!

The finished toy measures twenty-one to twenty-two centimeters from the head to the tail. An optional pirate eye patch can be added to transform the toy into a pirate parrot.

You will be crocheting the body, head, wings, beak, feet, and a crest separately, and then sewing all the pieces together. Plush yarn and crochet hooks are used to create this wonderful crochet plush parrot. Note that if you are looking to crochet a plush little parrot, I have already featured a tutorial for one!
