These toys are a fast knit with scrap yarn. They should take less than 30 minutes to make. I’ve included directions for 3 different beak/bills (curved, long, short) and how to make it with or without wings.

The body is knit flat in garter stitch. The beak and wings are knit in as you go. The legs are added at the end. You fold the bird body along the front edge and seam down the back of the head, tail and bottom. Since it’s worked in garter stitch, seaming is easy.
