Robin and Songbird Pattern.
This page gives you the pattern for either of these birds. There are more photo's on this post page.
The pattern is soooo simple to follow.
I used DK wool and a size 4 hook.
DC 6 into a circle.
DC2 into each st (12sts)
DC1, DC2 into next st*around (18sts)
DC2,DC2 into next st*around (24sts)
DC around
DC3,DC2 into next st* around (30sts)
DC around for 10 rounds.
DC3,DC2 tog* around (24sts)
DC2, DC2 tog* around (18sts)
DC1, DC2 tog* around (12sts)
I tend to stop here to leave a hole big enough for stuffing but allow a long tail of wool for the last row.
DC2 tog around (6sts)
To make the wings:
DC 6 into a circle
DC2 into each st (12sts)
DC3, DC2 into next st* around (15sts)
DC around for 3 rounds
And that's the crochet bit done.
Next add two safety eyes,
a loop of ribbon if you want the bird to hang,
stuff with soft toy filling and sew up.
As soon as you add the beak and wings - it stops looking like a blob with eyes and becomes a little bird !
( For the robins I sewed on a little red breast made from red felt and added two legs with jingly bells for feet.)
Have fun !

So lovely. I must give this a try.
