Graham measures approximately 30cm/12in from the tip of his beak to the end of his body and is around 20cm/8in tall when seated. His white bib is knitted using the intarsia method, which sounds scary but really isn’t! If you’ve never tried it before, there are lots of helpful videos and tutorials online. Graham is made using just yarn and acrylic toy stuffing so you don’t need any extra materials to create his curved and colourful beak!

You’ll be pleased to know that this pattern has been reviewed by professional technical editor to ensure that it’s super-easy to follow!

To make this pattern accessible to newer knitters, all the pieces are knitted flat on straight needles and seamed afterwards. To avoid being left with a mountain of sewing at the end, it’s a good idea to seam and stuff the pieces as you go along. Alternatively, with the exception of the body and beak, every piece can be knitted in the round.

The boring bit…
This pattern is intended for personal use so it’s fine to print it out but please don’t sell it, share it on the internet or make multiple copies. What you can sell (more money for yarn – YAY!) is finished items made from this pattern so long as you’ve made them yourself and it’s not on a commercial basis.
