Marnie, Miranda, Matilda and Max

Discover the joy of knitting these adorable birds, perfect for gifting or keeping as charming home decor. Each bird is expertly knitted in the round, with the beaks and wings crafted separately and sewn on later for a polished finish. This delightful knitting pattern is suitable for knitters of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros.
For this enchanting collection of birds, I have utilized just one skein of Bernat Softee Baby Sport DK weight yarn, boasting 310 yards/283m per 120g/4.25oz. The featured color is the beautiful Prince Pebbles #31201, which adds a whimsical touch to your creations.
The finished sizes of your adorable knitted toys will vary: Marnie and Max will be approximately 5" (15cm) tall, while Miranda will reach about 8” (20cm) in height. Matilda, on the other hand, is a slightly larger bird, measuring approximately 9.5” (24 cm) long and standing 9” (23cm) tall.
Yarn usage details:
- **Marnie and Max**: You will need approximately 46-50 yards of yarn for each bird, along with roughly 1.5 - 2 yards of a soft peach medium-weight yarn for the beaks.
- **Matilda**: Expect to use about 137 -145 yards of yarn, plus around 2.5 yards of soft peach color for the beak.
- **Miranda**: Approximately 73 - 80 yards of yarn will suffice, alongside 2 – 2.5 yards of soft peach yarn for her beak.
Additionally, don’t forget to gather some safety eyes or buttons for the birds' charming eyes, along with polyester fiberfill for professional-quality stuffing.
This pattern not only provides a fun knitting experience but also results in delightful, huggable creations that can brighten any space. Dive into the wonderfully colorful world of knitting with these lovely birds today!
