May I introduce you to Jarvis Cockatiel? This elegant grey and yellow fellow can’t wait to hop onto your hand to say hello.

With his wire feet and tail, he’s very poseable, so he’d be very happy perching around your home on the edge of a flowerpot, or sitting on the edge of your table.

If you’d like to knit Jarvis, then this cockatiel knitting kit contains all the yarn and notions that you need to knit a cuddly cockatiel friend – simply add a pair of 4mm knitting needles, a yarn darning needle, crochet hook 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 Jarvis Cockatiel knitting kit is presented in a large, stylish gift box, and bundled up in plastic-free, recyclable packaging. All of my knitted bird kits are handmade, and hand-packaged by me. This bird knit kit is the perfect, original gift for a knitter, birder, or cockatiel fan - they'll love knitting Jarvis, and the kit includes some cute bird stickers so they can have fun with those as well.

Need to know

Is Jarvis Cockatiel suitable for beginners? Jarvis may look a little more complicated than some of the other bird kits, but don’t worry, he’s still very simple to knit. He is 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. He’s a little more complex to sew up than some of the other birds, but full instructions are included and I’m always happy to help if you have any questions once you get started.

You’ll need a 3.5mm crochet hook to attach his crest feathers to his head, but no crochet skills are required, you are simply using the hook to pull lengths of yarn through the finished knitted bird’s head.

Jarvis has wire feet and a wire tail, which means he is not suitable for young children.
