Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Song Bird pattern (printable PDF-file / 51 pages)
Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for a Song Bird! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.
This Song Bird pattern comes with instructions for several different options to create your very own song bird! There are two tail patterns, two body patterns, two wing style patterns, three beak style patterns, and two types of legs/feet. Any of these can be combined! Wire can be used a lot or a minimum amount, depending on which options you choose to create. These cute little birdies are not shy, and will stick around anywhere you want them to!! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.
This pattern is a total of 51 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, but the last 10 pages are Text-Only instructions. There is also a full set of printer-friendly, text-only instructions, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.
This pattern is available in English, Spanish, German, and French. Translations can be found in the attached ZIP file. Este patrón está disponible en español. Diese Anleitung ist sowohl auf Deutsch erhältlich. Une traduction française du patron est maintenant disponible.
