A round little plush bird with three difficulty options included in the pattern:

• Two piece sew-together (beginner)
• Two piece no-sew (advanced beginner)
• Seamless, one piece (intermediate)

Pattern also includes a colour change chart to create a European Robin using 5 colours (may be challenging!)

This pattern makes a 2.5-3 inch bird which is good for using up scraps of yarn, giving as a gift or random act of kindness, or as a Christmas decoration.

You’ll need:

• 3.5mm crochet hook
• DK yarn in colour(s) of your choice
• A small amount of scrap yarn in a contrasting colour for the beak and feet
• Toy stuffing (a good way to use up scraps of yarn!)
• Needle, scissors, a few pins, stitch markers
• For the eyes: Black (or contrasting) and white embroidery thread, or
  alternatively 4-5mm safety eyes or beads

Pattern uses US terms:
