These little round birdies love bouncing around … you could even make three and juggle with them! The pattern includes a nest and some eggs too. You can choose any colour combinations to knit your birdies; try red and brown to knit a festive robin.

A pair each of 4mm single pointed knitting needles and DPNs (US 6)
