18th December 2017 - whoops! Row 1 should end with 6 sts NOT 16 sts!

A kind-of festive #freebeefridayknits ho ho ho!

  • well it is if you’re in & around Europe and UK - in the States I believe the dear Robin Redbreast is a harbinger of Spring and not Christmas?

  • and may I let you be the first to add wire legs to yours? - I’ve yet to master wire/ plyers!!

A really easy knit but you’ll no doubt have noted the embroidered breast - (eek maybe?) - but not as tricky as it looks I promise and I do add a ‘step-by-step how-to’ within the pattern - in fact please note (thinking printer) pages 3, 4 and 5 - are a bit colour/ image heavy!

Let this be a bird for you - for your home decoration/ tree - whatever - mine are well admired as will yours be!

P.S If you’ve missed its free-ness then don’t miss the next one - here’s the link to the newsletter www.eepurl.com/cIIfFj where you will get the pattern pdf direct in you inbox the day it’s released and I’ll also gift you the pattern right here on Ravelry -
