When I was little my Mum used to tell me that robin’s were Father Christmas’ spies. That when they were sat watching you, they were noting down if you had been good or bad. When they flew away, there were going to tell Father Christmas, who would decide if you would get any Christmas presents. I love this idea; and still think of it each time I see a robin bobbing about in the garden. For this memory, I decided that I had to crochet a robin. I can’t quite believe how cute they turned out to be…

To crochet one for you, you will need; dark brown yarn (I used dk), a yarn appropriate hook (I used a 4mm), red yarn, needle, googly-eyes, small amount of yellow felt and small amount of toy stuffing.
