Bald Eagle Amigurumi – Free Crochet Pattern

This crochet Bald Eagle pattern is my latest addition to my Bird Amigurumi series!

The Eagle is truly a majestic and intelligent creature, but in my Bald Eagle amigurumi version, I tried to create a more cute and baby-like eaglet version.

Their features include the classic white and brown colors of the eagle. The crochet Bald Eagle’s prominent identifying feature is the white chest ruffles underneath their hooked beak that gives them that eagle look.

It’s a similar design feature I previously also used on my Owl Amigurumi pattern. It’s made by crocheting ruffles in the Front Loop and then continuing to crochet around later in the Back Loops.

The bald eagle amigurumi also has yellow talons, perfect for hunting fish in the lake! Here it is, soaring across the sky.

I have a soft spot for Bald Eagles because I used to work at a place where the mascot was a Bald Eagle and when I left, I crocheted a Bald Eagle amigurumi as a keepsake for everyone. And this design was the result!

Well I hope you enjoy crocheting these magnificent creatures and be sure to check out my other bird amigurumi patterns! The free written pattern as well as the video tutorial are available below. Please be sure to tag me with your projects on Instagram @ami_amour.
