Bluebird Motif
Bluebirds fly…
A cute little bird motif for appliqué and adding a decorative touch to projects.
Pattern Description
A bluebird or swallow motif, worked in the round. (Use different yarn weights or strands held together to create different sizes.)
Skill Level
Easy/Intermediate
Basic stitches used, but can be a little fiddly, especially on the smaller sized birds.
Yarn
This motif can be made in any yarn weight, only a few yards are needs for each bird. I recommend using a hook size one or two sizes smaller than required for your yarn.
Or you can also hold two or more strands of yarn together to make different sizes of bird.
Yarn suggestions (as shown in photo):
