Knitting 'Perching birds' - September 2024
Recently I made a universal knitting pattern for
knitting a stereotypical bird. I didn't look at facts like having a long
tail or not. And therefore also not with the body proportions of different
species.
For determining the colors, I was inspired by a number of
beautiful birds that really exist. Which
one did you get from me? Scroll through the list below.
Next to each photo are the name of the bird and some
links to websites with more information about the species.
