Introducing.......
A free pattern, just for you: Chubby Chirps! Yeah! I designed these little birdies to use up your scrap yarn bits and (hopefully) welcome an early spring. They are also the perfect shape and size for little hands, I added a rattle insert to these guys and stitched on the eyes so that Baby Danger can have them:
These are so fun, I just had a blast making them up. They're quick, too! I think I can do one in under 2 hours now. This one is done in sock yarn on Us Size 1 (2.5mm) needles, and is darlingly dainty (don'tcha love the quarter for scale?!):
I think several of them done up on size 1's would make the cutest mobile (but obviously I have baby on the brain).
You can download the pattern to the right here under the free patterns---->, or hop on ravelry and download it there to your library.
So there you go, have fun knitting!
These are adorable!

Adorable! I can't wait to start one. I especially love the one with the green, red, purple, and white yarn; it knits into such a lovely pattern. :)

Hi, Love your monster designs :) I'm actually also expecting a baby. It'll be our second--due in May. What a great idea, using the rattle inserts. I followed your link and ordered mine from American Felt & Craft on Etsy--Feb 4 and they arrived today. Very fast shipping! After the Chubby Chirps, I'm hoping to knit up more of your monsters for both my little ones.
Thanks so much for sharing your designs with us

Thank you for sharing this pattern. I've downloaded this one and your Bunny one and can't wait to try them out. I seldom like knit amigurumi, but yours is just so cute. I'm in love with them and have placed your book on my must have list. :-)

Hi all... im looking for some special ladies to make a huge box of these precious chubby chirps! I would like to give them to the children I spend my days by in St. Mary's Hospital and The Ronald McDonald house children! I can only donate as a citizen and not a company or anything! So my thought is pictures and messages packed into the boxes of these sweet chirps being made so the children know we all care! It will brighten the day of many children I know! For more info on how to help and where to send please email me... my name is Jacquetta and u can email me at jacquetta.wesley@gmail.com if interested!
