NOTE: This listing is for a digital PDF PATTERN ONLY. This is NOT a finished product. This is a CROCHET PATTERN written in ENGLISH ONLY and uses standard US terms. Refunds are not available on this item.

The finished sparrow, when you make it in 4ply yarn, will measure approximately 12cm high and 11cm beak to tail. This will of course vary with weights of yarn and hook/tension. For a larger bird work in double knit, aran or chunky.

This pattern is relatively easy to follow but does require basic crochet knowledge of single and double crochet and the ability to work a magic ring. Colour changes are also part of this pattern. Everything is easily learnt from Youtube if you are not 100% sure. It is written in US terms but easily converted to UK terms.

It is worked in African Flower shapes with instructions in written form with lots of photographs and handy hints to follow for assembly.

This pattern is written in English.

Materials
For this Sparrow I used Drops Safran 4 ply yarn, 15g of brown, 15g of beige, 5g white, 5g of Jet Black. You can obviously use any colours or brand you fancy but the results will be slightly different. You can make this in any weight yarn, but please use
the smallest hook you can manage. The size and appearance of the end result will differ. Mercerised cotton yarn prevents too much stretch so helps to reduce the visibility of the stuffing, plus it isn’t fluffy so the pattern of the African Flower shape shows more clearly. Scheepjes Catona and Drops Safran are my all time favourite yarns for African Flower work. Other names for 4 ply are 2 weight, sport yarn, fingering, baby etc Please check your countries equivalent.
I used a 2mm crochet hook, a long darning needle, toy stuffing, 10mm safety eyes, stitch markers, dressmakers pins, invisible thread or dressmakers cotton is useful but not
essential
