“He rocks in the tree tops all day long, hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and singing his song…” I hope you have fun knitting this adorable robin, which has been designed to have many uses. It could be made into a Christmas tree decoration, a soft and cuddly toy or a finger puppet. It could be filled with chocolates, sweets or small treats and given as a gift or party favour. It is also ideal for charity fundraising. Part of the Knitables Christmas Tree Decoration Collection!

The robin can be made cheaply out of oddments of double knitting yarn. The knitting pattern has clear row by row instructions and lots of photographs to help you along the way. You will need to be able to knit, purl, cast on and off, increase and decrease, change colours and sew seams. All pieces are knitted flat on straight needles. So why not add some festive cheer to your home and start knitting today!
