Free Pattern- Little Birds

It's done! Click here to download a pdf pattern so you can make your own Little Bird. The pattern is also on Ravelry. They are fast and fun to knit. There's almost no seaming involved (though there may be a teensy bit of Kitchner stitching- don't fear!) 

Also, this pattern is kicking off a 6-week series I am doing. I will be putting up a new free knitting pattern for a toy or decoration every Wednesday. Click the link in the top of the sidebar to subscribe to our blog so you don't miss a thing! 

But back to the Little Birds- make one for your kiddos,

Or make two, they will keep each other company! 

They are happy to perch just about anywhere.

I hope you have fun making Little Birds, please let me know if you have any questions about the pattern and leave a comment when you do make one, I'd love to see it if you blog about them!

Thanks for this pattern! I have been looking for something to make for friends' new babies, this might be just the thing, and a stash-buster at that. Thanks!

ARGH! Look at their little feet!!! They are so, so dear! Thanks so much for the pattern, I would love to link to this if you didn't mind.

Love them. They are so cute. Must get the never ending tunic off the needles, and cast these on ASAP! They would make great christmas ornaments!

[Dalila]

Thanks for the pattern, Katie; the birds are so cute!
I was wondering why you say the pattern is not safe for children under 3? Is that because of the beak, eyes, and feet? Thanks!

These are so adorable...my 9yo has asked we make many of them so we can hang them from the ceiling all over her room! Thanks for sharing the pattern...

[Linda]

These are so sweet!

I love the beak and feet. I have just made a tui (that's a native bird here in New Zealand) out of a felted jersey and used wire for feet - the twigs look so much better!
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your other patterns.
I came here from the Waldorf Craft yahoo group link.
