US English pattern by Janine Holmes at Moji-Moji Design. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Paulo and Paula Parrot are a chirpy pair who love puffing up their plumage to show off a fabulous froth of fluffy feathers. They like Flamenco dancing together where they really get to strutt their stuff. If you asked them how they felt I'm sure they'd say they were 'frilled' to meet you!

This is one pattern with two distinct colourways (but feel free to invent more if you have a favourite type of parrot you would like to make!)

Detailed written instructions and complimentary photos are included to help you along the way.

When made with light worsted weight (DK/8 ply) yarn and a 3 mm hook, Paulo and Paula measure approximately 11” (28 cm) tall, including tail feathers.

Recommended safety eye size 9-10 mm.
