About This Plush Bonanza Beechcraft V-tail Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a plush Bonanza Beechcraft V-tail airplane made from plush yarn with textured stitches for a soft, tactile finish. You will make a triangular-shaped fuselage, wings, V-tail pieces, engines, a propeller and felt windows. The design uses joining of flat pieces to create reinforced parts and clear step photos to help with assembly.

Why You'll Love This Plush Bonanza Beechcraft V-tail Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple plush yarn into a charming, tactile airplane with personality. I enjoy the clever triangular start for the fuselage and how shaping creates a realistic silhouette without complicated stitch techniques. Sewing the flat parts together to make reinforced wings and tail gives a professional, sturdy finish that holds up well in play. The combination of plush yarn and small felt details like windows makes each finished plane feel cozy and unique.

Switch Things Up

I love how easily you can customize this plane by swapping yarn colors to create unique liveries and personal designs.

You can make a larger version by choosing bulkier plush yarn and a larger hook for a chunkier, cuddly toy.

To create a mini keychain-sized plane, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook and shorten wings and tail proportions accordingly.

I often add embroidered stripes or small felt patches to personalize the fuselage with names or numbers for gifting.

Try substituting the felt windows with embroidered outlines for a more handmade look and to avoid glue if the toy is for a child.

For a more poseable model, consider inserting thin wire into the wing cores before final sewing, being sure to safely encase wire ends inside the stuffing.

You can make the propeller removable by attaching it with a snap or button instead of sewing it fully into place, which is great for imaginative play.

Experiment with different stuffing levels to make the toy firmer for sitting displays or softer for cuddling—stuff gradually to find your preferred feel.

I sometimes use a slightly darker contrasting yarn to whipstitch the seam edges for a decorative outline effect around wings and tail.

If you like realistic details, add small stitched panel lines on the wings and fuselage to mimic aircraft surface details and give a handcrafted professional finish.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not marking the center of the triangle before making increases can misplace the V-tail; find and mark the triangle center and count stitches before making the six increases. ✗ Forgetting to add stuffing gradually will create lumps or flat spots; stuff the fuselage and engine parts little by little while crocheting to keep an even shape. ✗ Cutting threads when joining two parts too early may prevent proper sewing; leave the thread on the second piece and crochet around the perimeter to join securely. ✗ Skipping the corner sequence (1 sc + 1 hdc + 1 sc) when joining pieces causes twisting; always crochet the corner cluster to make a pronounced angle that holds shape.

Info :

Fasten the thread, cut and tighten the hole.

— Tail :

Info :

Blue plush yarn You need to make 4 identical parts. Then we will combine them two pieces into one. You will get 2 strong parts of the V-tail. Crochet in turning rows. Each new row starts with 1 chain. For each pair, cut the thread on one part, but do not cut on the second and continue to crochet around the perimeter of the parts to 'sew' them together with a hook.

Info :

6 chains. Starting from the second loop from the hook, crochet in a chain:

Round 1 :

5 sc (5)

Round 2-9 :

Turn, 1 chain, 5 sc (5)

Info :

Fasten the thread to one part and cut it off. On the second, make one chain, do not cut the thread.

Info :

Fold the two pieces flat and crochet on three sides. Thus, we will connect two parts into one strong. Crochet 1 sc in each stitch. In each corner, crochet in one loop (1 sc + 1 hdc + 1 sc). This is necessary so that the angle is more pronounced and does not twist. Fasten the thread at the end with a chain and cut off. Make another one part of the same.

— Wings :

Info :

Blue plush yarn You also need to crochet 4 parts and then connect them two into one, just like the tail. Crochet in turning rows. Each new row starts with 1 chain. For each pair, cut the thread on one part, but do not cut on the second and continue to crochet around the perimeter of the parts to 'sew' them together with a hook.

Info :

8 chains. Starting from the second loop from the hook, crochet in a chain:

Round 1 :

7 sc (7)

Round 2-14 :

Turn, 1 chain, 7 sc (7)

Info :

Fold the two pieces flat and crochet on three sides. Crochet 1 sc in each stitch. In each corner, crochet in one loop (1 sc + 1 hdc + 1 sc). Fasten the thread at the end with a chain and cut off. Make another one part of the same.

— Propeller holder :

Info :

Cotton yarn or any other yarn of approximately the same yardage (50 g / 160 m)

Round 1 :

5 sc in MR(5)

Round 2 :

4 sc, inc (6)

Round 7 :

(5 sc, inc) * 2 (14)

Info :

Fasten the thread with the sl st, leave a long end for sewing and cut off.

— Propellers (3 pcs) :

Info :

I make them on the principle of crocheting a cord. First we leave the thread, about 60 cm (23 inches). Then fold it in half to form a thicker double thread. Make a chain, but not on the edge, but in the middle of the thread. We crochet each stitch according to this principle: There is a loop on the hook, we make the yarn over on the hook from the leaving thread, we crochet sc with a working thread through two loops. Then again we make a yarn over from the leaving thread and crochet sc. You need to make 9 such stitches. Then we fasten the thread and cut it off.

Info :

Place the parts of the propeller in correct position, pull the ends of the threads into the inside of the holder and tie each pair of threads into 2 knots. Cut off the long tails and hide short tails inside the holder, so we use the tails of the threads instead of the filler.

— Windows :

Info :

You need to draw a template for windows and cut them out of paper or cardboard, or print my file and cut out the templates. Then take thin black or blue felt and cut out all the windows using templates. The central window is 1 pc, and the side windows are all 2 pcs.

— Assembly :

Info :

Find the center of the toy. To do this, I find the center between the increments in the 11th row and then follow it.

Info :

Place the wings between rows 14 and 22 at a distance of 9 sc from the center of the toy. That is, the wings are 18 sc from each other. Fix it with pins and sew along the perimeter with a strong thin thread to the tone of the main yarn. I use Yarnart Jeans in blue (50g/160m).

Info :

I bring all the ends of plush and thin threads to one point and tie them into 2 knots. I hide extra tails inside the toy. This is necessary so that the details are sewn more securely and do not tear during the game.

Info :

Fasten the engines with pins at the ends of the wings and sew them around the perimeter with a thin thread to the tone of the plush yarn. I also use Yarnart Jeans (50g/160m) milky. Pull the ends of the threads through one hole, tie into 2 knots and hide the excess inside the wing or engine.

Info :

Place the tail pieces about 4-5 rows from the edge of the fuselage at an angle so as to form a V-shape. In the middle they should touch. Secure with pins and sew along the perimeter with a thin, strong thread. Tie all the tails of the threads together and hide inside the toy.

Info :

Place the propeller at the center point of the front fuselage. It's between rows 2 and 3. Fasten with pins and sew around the entire circumference with the thread that we left.

Info :

Place the windows so that there is approximately the same distance between them. First, fix the front window and from it to the left and right continue to place all the others. The front window is above 11 row. Sew the windows with regular sewing thread. Or glue them if the toy is not for the child.

Info :

Final checks: hide and secure all tails, ensure wings and tails are symmetrically positioned and sewn tightly so the toy holds up during play.

Assembly Instructions

  • Find the center of the toy by locating the center between the increases in the 11th row and mark it as your reference point for placing parts.
  • Place the wings between rows 14 and 22 at a distance of 9 sc from the center of the toy (wings will be 18 sc apart); fix with pins and sew around the perimeter with a strong thin thread matching the main yarn.
  • Fasten the engines with pins at the ends of the wings and sew them around the perimeter with a thin thread that matches the plush yarn; pull the ends through one hole, tie into two knots and hide excess inside the wing or engine.
  • Position the V-tail pieces about 4-5 rows from the edge of the fuselage at an angle so that they form a V and touch in the middle; secure with pins and sew around the perimeter, then tie and hide all thread tails inside the toy.
  • Attach the propeller at the center point of the front fuselage (between rows 2 and 3), secure with pins and sew around the circumference using the long end left on the propeller holder.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the center and key rows (for example the 11th row) when aligning wings and windows for accurate placement.
  • 💡Stuff the fuselage and engines gradually during crochet to keep an even shape and avoid lumps; add filler through the opening while shaping.
  • 💡When joining two flat pieces (tail or wing halves), do not cut the second piece's working yarn until you have crocheted around the perimeter to sew them together for a stronger join.
  • 💡Use small pins to hold felt windows in place before sewing to ensure even spacing and symmetry.
