This is a version of the Feathered Friends pattern in my book - Knit & Purl Pets. I know that quite a few people who bought the book had part of this pattern missing - a printer’s error as my home copies were all intact. So here is the whole pattern for you for free - slightly adapted to make it even easier - for you to enjoy. FYI he’s worked in the round - including the wings and is a perfect antidote to using up stash yarn!! Have fun with your birdie colours!
