Product Description
Here is a Christmas Wreath with a cute robin on a branch. The robin can be made on its own to decorate the tree or table.
The pattern includes instructions for the robin, wreath and branch.
Knit on 3.25mm STRAIGHT needles, the wreaths are contoured and stuffed so no wire or foam form is needed. The robin and branch are knit using 2.75mm straight needles.
Each wreath uses around 18g of DK yarn for the basic shape. Finished size is approximately 15cm diameter but the pattern works for other yarn knit on corresponding needles. The robin uses around 3g of brown and 1g of red.
