Bluebirds fly…
A cute little bird motif for appliqué and adding a decorative touch to projects.

Pattern Description
A bluebird or swallow motif, worked in the round. (Use different yarn weights or strands held together to create different sizes.)

Skill Level
Easy/Intermediate
Basic stitches used, but can be a little fiddly, especially on the smaller sized birds.

Yarn
This motif can be made in any yarn weight, only a few yards are needs for each bird. I recommend using a hook size one or two sizes smaller than required for your yarn.

Or you can also hold two or more strands of yarn together to make different sizes of bird.
