What You’ll Need to Make This Crochet Dove
If you want your dove amigurumi to look as lovely as the one seen in the photos, get these supplies ready before you start:

- 2 mm and 2.5 mm crochet hooks
- polyester fiberfill (yarn scraps will work too!)

To turn your bird plushie into a beautiful hanging decoration, you will also need three 15 mm wooden beads and satin ribbon.
How to Crochet the Amigurumi Peace Dove
The designer classifies it as an intermediate-level project. However, the pattern is easier than you think, so those who have their first amigurumi project under their belt should be able to complete it with ease, too.
The bird is worked in continuous rounds (stitch markers will definitely come in handy!) with the tail and olive branch crocheted separately and then sewn to the main piece. The stitches used include chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet.
The clear written instructions and helpful photo aids make creating this bird-themed decoration a breeze.
Ways to Use Your Crochet Dove
The symbolic peace dove serves as a poignant reminder of the optimism and tranquility we all seek. Therefore, this sweet, handmade piece can be used in multiple situations. It will be great as a hanging decoration, desk figurine, keychain, or party favor.
Hang this handmade amigurumi bird on your window, holiday tree, or give it as a heartfelt gift to inspire hope in the lives of others.
