Noel the partridge bird knitting kit

Here's Noel the partridge, ready to hop into your hand to spread a little festive cheer. He would be very much at home on a pear tree, or as a lovely handmade Christmas tree decoration! 

Each bird knitting kit is carefully handmade and packed by me, and will contain all the yarn and notions that you need to knit Noel the partridge – No need to order all the different yarns and bits and pieces – you can sit back, relax, and start knitting straight away. It's all there for you!

If you'd like to add needles to your kit, a pair of high quality 25cm long 4mm Pony aluminium knitting needles are £2, and a pack of 2 Pony darning needles are £1.

Your partridge knitting kit is presented in a large, stylish gift box, and bundled up in plastic-free, recyclable packaging. This bird knit kit is the perfect, original gift for a knitter, birder, or Christmas fan - they'll love knitting Noel, and the kit includes a cute Noel badge for them to enjoy, too!

What's included in your knit kit?

• A full colour printed knitting pattern
• 4 different colours of high quality, soft DK acrylic yarn
• Polyester toy stuffing
• Beads and black thread

• A beak template
• Cute Noel badge

Is Noel suitable for beginners?

Yes. He is simply knitted flat on a pair of 4mm (UK 8/ US 6) knitting needles, making him an excellent project for a beginner who knows the basics of knitting: no need to knit in the round. 

Basic knitting skills that you’ll need to know:

Knit stitch, purl stitch, increasing by knitting into the front and back of a stitch (inc 1) and decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together (k2tog). There’s colour-changing on some rows, so you will need to use Intarsia technique to change yarns mid-row. Head on over to my how to knit tutorials if you need any advice!

You'll also need very basic sewing skills to sew up his felt beak.

All kit and parcel packaging is plastic-free, and recyclable.

The gift box measures 28cm x 19cm x 8cm.

Noel the partridge is 12cm long from beak to tail.
