  • This pattern is for a vintage style chick and bluebird - they are variations of the same basic pattern.
  • Finished birds are approx. 3.25in (8cm) tall.
  • You will need about 18yds (17m) of DK/light worsted yarn in your main colour for each bird plus smaller amounts of other colours.
  • You will also require a small amount of 100% polyester toy filling.
  • Gauge isn’t crucial when knitting toys, but you must make sure that your knitting isn’t too loose or the toy filling will show through.
  • You are welcome to sell any items you make - but please don’t launch into mass production!
