Sid is a very sweet and sociable blackbird - and here’s the PDF knitting pattern to knit him! He’s 15cm tall (that’s the perfect size to fit in your hand for a blackbird cuddle), and is knitted flat on 4mm needles. No knitting in the round, or tricky technical stuff, so he’s a fun, simple knit, which is suitable for beginners or someone looking for a chilled project.

You can use the black and yellow DK yarns of your choice, and suggestions for Stylecraft DK yarns are given in the pattern. You’ll receive a 4-page PDF knitting pattern with detailed knitting and making-up instructions, with colour photos to help you on your way.
