Parrot Amigurumi Tutorial - Crochet a Scarlet Macaw

In this Amigurumi tutorial, I show you how to crochet a parrot. This is a fun little project, ideal for intermediate and practised crocheters. Let me know in the comments if you'd be interested in crocheting a Blue and Gold Macaw too.

Eta: There is an editing error in round 4. Once you reach 24:03 please click on 25:48 to skip it.

2023 Update: I created an improved version of the pattern, including a Scarlet and Blue-and-Yellow Macaw, both sitting and flying - 4in1.
