Here’s my PDF knitting pattern for a festive little partridge called Noel. He is 12cm long from the tip of his felt beak, to the tip of his tail. Noel is knitted flat in one piece with separate knitted wings and a felt beak, so he’s a nice, easy knit!

He’d look lovely as part of a holiday season display, along with some of his favourite pears from a pear tree! He’d also be very much at home on a Christmas tree decoration, or would make a sweet holiday gift for a special friend.

You can use grey, light brown, dark brown and cream DK yarn of your choice, and a pair of 4mm knitting needles. You’ll receive a PDF knitting pattern with detailed knitting and making-up instructions, with colour photos and suggested yarns to help you on your way.
