Sonia the Heron

Introducing Sonia, a charming heron knitting pattern that measures approximately 37cm (14½in) from the tip of her beak to the end of her body, and around 26cm (10¼in) tall when seated. This delightful project is created using only yarn and acrylic toy stuffing, eliminating the need for any additional materials. You’ll love how easy it is to craft her elegant neck and pointy beak. Sonia's legs are intentionally left unstuffed, allowing her to sit gracefully and enjoy the view without any risk of standing up!

For your crafting convenience, Sonia was originally made using Patons Wool Blend DK in the now-discontinued shade 188 Grey. However, you can explore several wonderful alternatives to achieve the same stunning look! Any DK yarn featuring a blend of various greys, undyed grey wool, a grey tweed, or any silver DK would work beautifully. If you're inspired to continue using the original shade, it remains available in an Aran weight—Patons Wool Blend Aran, 88 Grey. If you choose this option, be prepared for a slightly larger heron, and don’t forget to adjust your needle size, plus gather Aran weight yarn in white, yellow, and black for Sonia's details!

Rest assured, this knitting pattern has been thoroughly reviewed by a professional technical editor, ensuring clarity and accuracy for your crafting experience. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this adorable heron pattern is perfect for adding a touch of whimsy and elegance to your collection.
