This pattern for a knitted pheasant is from my book Knitted Birds, published by Search Press. You’ll need a mixture of DK and aran tweed yarns - he’s a great way to stash bust a few odds and ends of yarn! He’s 12 inches long.

The book also includes a template for his felt beak.

There are over 30 patterns for knitted birds, eggs and nests included in my book, and they are all knitted in the flat.
