At 16cm/6¼in tall, Beverley is the bigger blue tit who’ll break your bird table as well as your heart! This hedgerow honey’s body is knitted in two separate pieces, which are then joined using mattress stitch so there’s no intricate intarsia or fiddly fair isle. Even better, you’ll only need small amounts of yarn, making her cheap (or should that be cheep?) to create!

All the pieces are knitted flat on straight needles and seamed afterwards so it’s a good idea to seam and stuff the pieces as you go along.

You’ll be pleased to know that this pattern has been reviewed by a professional technical editor to ensure that it’s super-easy to follow! But, if you do get stuck, just message me - I aim to respond to all queries within 24 hours.
