This trio of Itty Bitty Birdies can be found in your own backyard (as long as your back yard is an exotic arboretum). Their three inch bodies are knit in the round with minimal finishing and their hind ends can be adorned with your choice of tail feathers. The Peacock’s tail has beads and a twisted stitch pattern (so very fancy). Pictured legs are crochet, but the pattern also contains instructions for i- cord legs. Birdies are such a quick knit, you’ll have a flock before you know it.

This pattern is $1.99 at KnitPicks. It is for sale here because it’s nice to have things in your Ravelry library and pay with PayPal. But I have to pay when you use PayPal, so the Ravelry price is higher to compensate.
