Baby Birds

Though they may appear terrified to leave the nest, these charming little birds are actually eager to explore the world! This delightful knitting pattern guides you through creating adorable baby birds that are perfect for your collection or as a heartfelt gift.

The body and eyes of these cute creations are skillfully knit in one continuous piece using double pointed needles, ensuring a seamless finish.
