Scrap Happy June 2024

Going Batty in Wales

A simple bird made entirely from knitted squares. I saw one somewhere online and decided to have a go – no pattern just knitting the body square and then making wings and tails to fit. I plan to make more and construct a mobile for the conservatory just for fun.

      I have loads of small balls of yarn in lots of colours hence the stripes!

      He is very quiet but certainly cheerful

    I can see how making these could become addictive. They would make cute Christmas tree ornaments

      I hadn’t thought of Christmas but you are quite right.

    Simple, but just lovely! Maybe make a couple; one colourful and one using more ‘natural’ bird colours? I’d love to see the finished mobile.

      I will post about it when it is finished but that may take a while – the list of projects is rather long!

      Not very grown up and sensible but then neither am I! The conservatory is where I let myself decorate very playfully.

    Thanks for the idea, I might have a go. My daughter had a pattern for baby booties done with squares as she never progressed beyond plain stitch in squares!
