Fischer's Lovebird

Pink and red have never been my colours so when I was asked to create a small Valentine’s project, I wanted to think a little outside the box. This crochet lovebird makes such a sweet gift for someone you love, but it’s also perfect for bird lovers too! The pattern is worked in continuous rounds (with the exception of the feet and the last row for the tail) so you will need to use stitch markers to help you keep track of your st count. You’ll be working the body from the top down and then crocheting the wings and other features separately. It’s an intermediate pattern because, while the stitches themselves are all very basic, some of the techniques used may be less familiar and there is a lot of colourwork. You’ll find plenty of photo guides throughout to help clarify these steps and links to video tutorials to walk you through the special stitches used. And there are also suggestions at the end of the pattern for how you can make this little lovebird your own with just a few variations.
