Tweet Bird is a whimsical softie bird toy. Inspired by the birds in folk paintings, Tweet is a fun knit full of little details. The body is knit in the round in one piece and then seamed at the base. The lace wings and tail are knit separately, then blocked and attached to the main body, along with the legs, beak and plumes. This sweet bird would make a wonderful heirloom toy for a special baby or child.
