Bill the Pigeon is a very sweet and well-behaved pigeon - and here’s the PDF knitting pattern to knit him! He’s 12cm tall (just the right size to fit in your hand for a pigeon cuddle), and is knitted flat on 4mm needles. No knitting in the round, or tricky technical stuff, so he’s a fun, simple knit, which is suitable for beginners or someone looking for a chilled project.

You can use the dark grey, light grey, black, cream, green and purple DK yarns of your choice, and suggestions for Stylecraft DK yarns are given in the pattern. You’ll receive a 4-page PDF knitting pattern with detailed knitting and making-up instructions, with colour photos to help you on your way.
