Meet Q'inti the Hummingbird. This interactive crochet pattern for a realistic hummingbird is designed for the intermediate to advanced maker.

You'll move beyond basic shapes to explore intricate wing construction, wire shaping, and the optional sparkle of bead embroidery.

While you'll use familiar stitches, you will also learn:

- Working with three colors in the same round.
- Shaping the beak and feet with craft wire for a display-quality finish.
- Crocheting feathers directly onto a wing base for a layered, realistic texture.
- Learning easy embroidery for the eyes and the optional addition of seed beads for a jeweled plumage look.


Construction & Size

- One-Piece Design: The head, body, and tail are crocheted in one piece to minimize sewing and ensure a sleek, natural silhouette.

- Finished Dimensions: Approx. 4.7" long with a 6.3" wingspan (when using Sport or DK weight yarn).

- Customizable: Easily scale your hummingbird up or down by simply adjusting your yarn weight and hook size.
