£37.00

Back by popular demand, we are delighted to release a miniature version of our Rory the Northern Cardinal bird in our limited edition FINE yarn. This festive favourite can now be made to fit into the palm of your hand and will take pride of place in your Christmas display. Available only while stocks last!

Rory the Northern Cardinal joined the menagerie for Christmas 2018 as part of the TOFT Mystery Advent CAL. A fun pattern that is perfect for learning a variety of crochet techniques, this kit was inspired by the northern cardinal, also known as the red cardinal; a bird renowned for its beautiful red plumage which is gained from the fruit it eats including wild grapes, mulberries and dogwood berries.

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet bird kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
