This charming pheasant knit kit is the perfect way for a bird-lover to rest and recharge after a long winter walk.
Angus the Pheasant is the ideal countryside companion. He has stunning tweedy plumage, a cheeky expression, and he’s just the right size to sit in your hand for a comforting squeeze. I often see these beautiful birds strutting about the farmers’ fields where I live in Caithness, so I just had to knit one.
Each bird knitting kit is carefully handmade and packed by me, and will contain all the yarn and notions that you need to knit a soft and cuddly pheasant friend – simply add your own pair of 4mm knitting needles, a yarn darning needle and an ordinary sewing needle, and you're ready to go. 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!
Your Angus the Pheasant 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 pheasant fan - they'll love knitting Angus, and the kit includes a cute Team Pheasant sticker so they can show their support for these iconic countryside birds as well.
Need to know
Is Angus the Pheasant suitable for beginners?
Yes he is, although he does have a little more colour changing mid-row than some of the other knitted birds. 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 skills that you need to know: stocking 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. Your pheasant knitting kit includes a yarn shade organiser card to help you keep track of the different colours in Angus’s plumage.
What's included in your knit kit?
A full colour printed knitting pattern
8 different colours of high quality, soft DK acrylic yarn (Including beautiful Highland Heathers tweed yarns)
Polyester toy stuffing
Black beads and thread
Red and Yellow felt
A yarn shade organiser card
A Team Pheasant sticker
Knitting needles and darning needles are not included as many knitters already own a pair - but if you'd like to add these to your kit, a pair of 4mm Pony aluminium knitting needles are £2, and a pack of 2 Pony darning needles are £1.
All kit and parcel packaging is plastic-free, and recyclable.
The gift box measures 28cm x 19cm x 8cm.
Angus the pheasant is 17cm tall.
