Robin Chocolate Orange Cover Knitting Pattern PDF Christmas Food Cosy DK

Turn a chocolate orange into an adorable handmade Christmas gift with this knitted robin cover pattern.

The finished robin has a plump red body, rounded brown head, shaped wings, a little tail and a knitted yellow beak. It completely disguises a standard chocolate orange, making it a charming stocking filler, Secret Santa present, table decoration or small festive gift.

The robin is knitted flat on straight needles using small quantities of DK yarn. Its tail and head are worked in one piece before being attached to the red cover. The separately knitted wings and beak complete the design, with just a small amount of stuffing needed to shape the head.
