Wanna try working with a with double pointed needles and actually make something cute and quick? Here is the pattern for you! There are no increase or decrease - just cast on, knit and bind off and then adding a little needle magic and you got yourself a bird!

This is a pattern for my 12 Patterns of Catmas - and is originally made as a cattoy, but you can use it as a regular toy for a child (or adult) as well. Maybe it fits perfectly on a garland or as a gift to your local librarian or on a mobile?

This pattern is made with doublepointed needles (also called sock needles) and is knitted in a spiral. You can also choose to knit this patten on circular needles if you manage the magic loop.
