This little Blue Tit is knitted flat and seamed. The pattern uses the Intarsia technique with a small amount of stranded colour work (only four rows!) for the colour work sections which is all laid out in a straightforward and easy to follow way.

If you fancy having a go at colour work on a small project, this birdy is perfect for you!
