Product Details

There are nine garden birds included in this pattern book: thecity pigeon, robin, house sparrow, great tit, blue tit, crested tit, magpie, jayandnuthatch.

These birds make great, colorful hanging ornaments, for your Christmas tree for example!

Each bird is a small and easy project, that is about 8 cm from beak to tail and were knitted on 2.25 mm double pointed needles (UK 13, US 1). Only small amounts of yarns are needed (about 20 m per bird), it’s a good way to use up any scraps you have lying around. The tiny beaks were knitted on 1 mm double pointed needles, in yarn of a lace gauge. They can also be done in a heavier yarn, then they turn out slightly larger or they can be made out of a scrap of felt. The birds are knitted flat and some intarsia color work is asked for. The crested tits’ hairdo is styled through a number of loop stitches, which are explained in the pattern and the head of the nuthatch is shaped through two short rows. Happy holiday knitting!!
