Billy Blue Tit

KNITTING PATTERN DESIGN BY AMANDA BERRY

The bright and colourful Blue Tit is a joy to spot on country walks.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the bird is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the beak is i-cord worked on two DPNs. Billy has wire bird legs so it can stand, but you can make your bird without these if you wish. The pattern incorporates intarsia colour-work and Swiss darning.
