‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ is a famous Christmas carol from 1780. It counts down a gaggle of gifts for each of the twelve days of Christmas between the 24th of December and the 5th of January, known as Christmastide or Twelvetide. This holiday season knit your own Christmas birds and there will be an unwrapping of feathery flocks ofpartridges*,* turtle doves*,* French hens*,* calling birds(common blackbirds),geeseandswans*.*

These 6 to 7.5 cm birds are easy - medium, fast and fun projects, knitted on 2.25 mm double pointed needles (UK 13, US 1) in lace gauge yarn, but can be done in a heavier yarn and will turn out slightly larger. There is knitting flat, in the round, intarsia colorwork, loop stitches (explained in the text) and some i-cords.

Only small amounts of yarns are needed, so a Christmas bird is a great project to use up any scraps you have lying around.These birds make fantastically festive hanging ornaments fitting to spruce up any Christmas tree.

Merry Chickmas! Viv
