This is Steve the Chaffinch, a cheery knitted fellow who will happily hop around the house keeping you company and brightening up your day with his smart red plumage.

He’s 18cm long, big enough to sit in your hand, and his tail contains a pipe cleaner, so you can pose his tail in any position that you like.

He’s knitted flat, so is a nice, easy knit, with a little intarsia on his head.
