Amigurumi Love Birds Reviewed by Jennifer Dietrich on 2010-05-16 ****
As a result of the reviews I decided to only go up to 18 sts at the widest point of the bird's roundness. Then repeated it for a few rounds like the directions said. Depending on how tight your stitches are you may be able to go up to 24 sts at its widest round. Just depends on how wide and big you want the bird to be.
