Product Details
Say hello to Barbara the blue tit! She's a very sweet and colourful bird who loves to sit in your hand for a cuddle.
Barbara is 12cm / just over 4 inches tall – you'll need oddments of DK yarn to knit her, I used Stylecraft Special DK but any DK yarn can be used, as a great stashbuster project.
You'll also need a pair of 4mm (UK 8/ US 6) knitting needles, 2.75mm (UK 12, US 2) knitting needles and a yarn darning needle, and you're ready to go.
Is Barbara easy to knit?
Yes she is! Barbara is knitted flat on a pair of 4mm (UK 8/ US 6) knitting needles, making her a great project for a beginner: no need to knit in the round. Basic skills that you need to know: stocking stitch, increasing by knitting into the front and back of a stitch (inc 1) and decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together (k2tog). You'll also be changing colours mid-way through rows. The knitting pattern includes detailed making up instructions and colour photos to help you on your way.
