This chubby pigeon may look soft and innocent, but behind those tiny eyes is the confidence of a bird that has absolutely no fear of stealing your sandwich in broad daylight. Round, dumpy, and full of chaotic city-bird energy, this pattern captures the wonderfully questionable charm of everyone’s favourite pavement gremlin.
Designed with chubby shaping and minimal sewing, this pattern is perfect for confident beginners looking for a fun, character-filled amigurumi project. The construction is simple and satisfying, while the finished pigeon somehow manages to look both adorable and mildly suspicious at the same time.
Whether you’re making a gift for a bird lover, adding to your market stall lineup, or building your own flock of delightfully rotund creatures, this chubby pigeon is guaranteed to get attention—and probably a few “oh my god, I love him” reactions too.
