This cute and relaxing wood pigeon knit kit is a great way for a bird-lover to rest and recharge after a hard day’s birdwatching.
Big Liam is large, lovely, and he’s just the right size to sit in your hand for a comforting squeeze. For some reason lost in the mists of time, my family has always named every woodpigeon spotted in the countryside or in the garden as Liam. It’s just the way it is. They are all called Liam, and a flock of them are known as a flock of Liams.
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 cuddly wood pigeon 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 Big Liam 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 woodpigeon fan - they'll love knitting Big Liam, and the kit includes a cute Big Pigeon sticker so they can show their support for these lovable big birds as well.
Need to know
Is Big Liam suitable for beginners? Very much so. 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.
What's included in your knit kit?
A full colour printed knitting pattern
5 different colours of high quality, soft DK acrylic yarn
Polyester toy stuffing
Black beads and thread
Yellow felt
A BIg Liam 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.
Big Liam the wood pigeon is 26cm long.
