Turtle Dove Chocolate Orange Cover Knitting Pattern PDF Christmas Mistletoe DK

Turn a chocolate orange into a thoughtful handmade Christmas gift with this charming turtle dove knitting pattern.

With soft white wings, a shaped tail and a little yellow beak holding knitted mistletoe, this festive dove makes a lovely stocking filler, table gift or addition to your Christmas display. The mistletoe’s green leaves and white berries add the finishing touch.

Worked flat on straight needles using small amounts of DK yarn, this is a lovely project for using up leftover yarn. The written instructions guide you through knitting the cover, shaping the dove and making the mistletoe details.
