Love Birds

Introducing our adorable knitted love birds pattern that’s perfect for knitting enthusiasts of all skill levels! These charming little love birds are crafted in the round from the center out, resulting in a delightful one-piece design. To add an extra touch of charm, we recommend using the picot bind off technique to create the tail, while the beak is knitted separately and sewn on to bring your birds to life. If you're feeling adventurous and want to give your birds some personality, clear instructions for adding legs are also provided!

When completed, these whimsical toys will measure approximately 8 inches (20 cm) long, making them a delightful addition to any decor or playtime collection. They're great for gifting or as a cozy companion for kids and adults alike!

For the best results, we suggest using Dream in Color Classy Worsted, a luxurious 100% Superwash Merino Wool yarn. Each skein comes with an impressive 250 yards per 4 oz, ensuring you have plenty of yarn to work with. You will need just 1 skein in Valentino (Nr. 14) to complete the body of your love birds — this accounts for approximately 50 yards (46 meters) total. To add those lovely details, you’ll also need approximately 10 yards (9 meters) of peach yarn for the cheeks, around 7 yards (6 meters) of black yarn for the eyes, and optionally, about 15 yards (14 meters) of yellow yarn if you wish to create a bright parrot or additional playful variations!

This love birds knitting pattern not only provides step-by-step guidance for creating these sweet companions, but it also opens the door for your creativity to shine through. Whether you're gifting them or keeping them for yourself, these lovable knitted birds are sure to bring joy and warmth to your home.
