Meet Noel the Partridge

Meet Noel the Partridge! He's a cute knitted partridge, who's ready to hop on your Christmas tree (or pear tree) and he'd make a great holiday season gift. He's 12cm tall, super friendly, and available as a knit kit or PDF pattern from Etsy, Ravelry and Love Knitting. The knit kit contains everything you need to knit Noel, apart from needles - and you also get a cute button badge of Noel and his much-loved pear.

Northern Cardinal knit kit

And the next knit kit is ready and waiting for your needles to work their magic! This is Bob, the Northern Cardinal. He's the perfect size to sit in your hand, and can't wait to come and live with you. He's easy to knit on a pair of 4mm knitting needles, and your knit kit will contain everything you need to make Bob, along with a cute Bob button badge. Grab your cardinal knit kit here in my Etsy shop, or download the pattern from Ravelry and Love Knitting!

Knitted budgies

Who's a pretty boy then? Sparky the budgie! He's easy to knit flat on 2 needles and can't wait to be your new best knitted friend. His knitting pattern is here in my Etsy shop, and also on Ravelry and Love Knitting. I've also put together a budgie knit kit, containing everything that you need to knit a Sparky, including yarn, notions, stuffing, the knitting pattern and a lovely handbag mirror - it would make a really cute gift for the budgie fan in your life.

Beneduck Cumberquack

Beneduck Cumberquack is a very smart mallard duck gentleman! You can knit him from my pattern, or treat yourself to a Beneduck Cumberquack knit kit, which contains everything you need to knit your own mallard duck, along with a lovely Beneduck button badge.
