Blooming Birdhouse
The pattern is knitted flat and sewn up at the end. You do not need to knit in circles.
The flowers are made of chains, using a crochet hook. You do not need to know crochet techniques. Alternatively, you can embroider flowers.
The pattern comes with a cardboard template but please measure your knitted piece before constructing the cardboard birdhouse.
Finished size: 15cm tall, 14cm wide.
Materials
Yarn
For main body
• [A] 20g Honey Brown 4-ply (fingering)
• [B] A small amount of Dark brown DK (8-ply)

For decoration
Small amounts of 4-ply yarn in green, pink, orange, yellow, cherry pink
For birds
• Small amounts of 4-ply yarn of your choice

About yarn used
• Sirdar Snuggly 4-ply; Honey 55% Nylon 45% Acrylic, 50g per 226m
For chunky yarn for the roof, I upcycled the yarn I had. Please feel free to use any thick yarn. Cast on a few stitches and see if the short width covers the roof. If you do not have Chunky, knit with DK yarn holding two strands together.

• Chenille needle
Tension
• 26 sts x 34 rows = 10cm (not essential)
