Product Details
There are six melodious birds in the band: the chaffinch, bullfinch, hoopoe, golden oriole, garden warbler and green plover.
**These birds make great, colorful hanging ornaments, for your Christmas tree for example!**Try your hand at knitting some or all of these birds, and see if your holiday guests can identify these feathered friends!
Each bird is about 9 cm and a small and easy project, that can be finished in an evening or so. They 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), so a songbird is a great project 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. However, they can also be made out of a scrap of felt. The birds are knitted flat and some intarsia color work is asked for.
Happy Holiday knitting!
