Welcome to my crochet cardinal tutorial. This is the video tutorial for my crochet cardinal pattern.
For this pattern you will need any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used Scheepjes Catona cotton colours (115) Hot Red, (110) Black, (516) Candy Apple, (393) Charcoal, (406) Soft Beige, (254) Moon Rock and (515) Emerald. A crochet hook, I used a 2.5mm hook. A darning needle to weave in ends and a pair of scissors. Thread and needle to stitch it together. A small gold or brown bead for the eye.
The size of the cardinal will be 17cm wide x 15.5cm high (6.5” wide x 6” high) and it will look like this.
In this tutorial video I’ll show you how to make the head, body, beak, tail and wing. Then I’ll guide you through making the branch, berries and leaves. Finally, I’ll show you how to put all of the pieces together.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed the tutorial. Have a look at some of my others, including the crochet bald eagle, the dove, the robin, the blue wren tutorial and the magpie.
