Sparky the Budgie parakeet
Who’s a pretty boy then? Meet Sparky and Coco, the adorable knitted budgies that will brighten up your crafting collection! Sparky is a striking blue, while Coco flaunts a vibrant green hue. Both of these charming knitted birds stand at 23cm tall and are designed to be friendly companions you can create from my comprehensive 8-page PDF knitting pattern!
This knitting pattern is perfect for all skill levels as it guides you through the process of knitting these delightful budgies flat using 4mm needles. With detailed instructions and clear, colorful photos included, you'll find everything you need to help you every step of the way. Additionally, I've included a handy tutorial on making wire legs, which is an invaluable technique for any knitted bird project, not just Sparky and Coco!
For these feathery friends, I recommend using Stylecraft Special DK yarn to achieve the best results. All the necessary color shades are meticulously listed in the pattern, but feel free to use any DK yarn you have in your stash to create your custom versions of Sparky and Coco. In addition to yarn, you will need some 2-ply black yarn, craft wire for the legs, 2 x 4mm black beads for the eyes, and a pipe cleaner to complete the look.
This knitting pattern not only offers a fun and engaging project but also allows you to create delightful decorations or gifts that are perfect for bird lovers and knitting enthusiasts alike.
