This is an easy pattern for a little 5 inch knitted blue tit - it’s a great way of using up odds and ends of yellow, blue, cream and green DK yarn, and is simple to knit flat on 2 needles.

This pattern is included in my book Knitted Birds - it’s published by Search Press and contains over 30 knitting patterns for different birds, plus nests and eggs. Everything is knitted flat, and instructions for wire feet and templates for felt beaks and details are included too.
