This high street hotty is sure to make your friends coo! Measuring 18cm/7in from his pigeon chest (well, what else?!) to his pert posterior and approximately 22cm/8¼in when seated, Paul is the wobbly-eyed waddler that your windowsill has been waiting for! And, just like a real pigeon, Paul enjoys pecking at odds and ends so you’ll only need small amounts of yarn to make your very own feathered friend!

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. Please remember to credit me as the designer!

And finally…
I’d love to see your finished pigeon so please share him or her on Facebook, Instagram and Ravelry!
