Description
JUGGLE BIRDIES, NEST AND EGGS TOY KNITTING PATTERNS
These little round birdies love bouncing around … you could even make three and juggle with them! With this knitting pattern you can knit your own birdies, plus a nest and some eggs. You can choose any colour combinations to knit your birdies, so you could use red and brown to knit a robin.
TECHNIQUES: All pieces are knitted flat on a pair of straight knitting needles, apart from the feet which are i-cord knitted on two DPNs. You will need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work simple increases and decreases, change colours at the ends of a row and sew seams.
FINISHED SIZE: The finished birds 8cm high, 8cm wide, and 7cm deep. The nest is approximately 10cm diameter and 2cm high, and the eggs are 4cm high and 3cm wide.
Materials you need at home:
- A pair of straight 4mm knitting needles (US 6)
- Two 4mm double pointed needles (DPNs)
- DK yarn (double knitting or light worsted weight) to knit the bird and eggs; less than 25g in each colour
