Budgie Chocolate Orange Cosy and Knitting Pattern

Description

Originally featured as February’s knit in the 2025 TeaCosyFolk Chocolate Orange Cosy Calendar, the Budgie Cosy quickly became a fan favourite. With its charming perch-like stance and cheeky expression, it brought a burst of feathered joy to the month and proved that even the smallest birds can make the biggest impression.

Now, this delightful design is flying solo; available as a downloadable PDF knitting pattern so you can stitch it up anytime.

The Budgie Cosy is a super cute tribute to one of Britain’s most beloved pet birds. Designed to fit snugly around a Terry’s Chocolate Orange, it’s perfect for gifting, displaying, or simply brightening your knitting shelf. Make the budgie your own, the two tone design could be knitted in shades of green, yellow, blue or white, reflecting the real-life plumage of budgies and giving you plenty of scope to personalise your feathered friend.

Knitted in Stylecraft Special DK, the cosy is both accessible and satisfying to make. The Budgie pattern offers a joyful project with clear instructions and playful details. From its tiny beak to its tail feathers, every stitch is designed to capture the character and charm of these chirpy companions.

It’s a perfect pick-me-up project, a sweet gift idea, and a cheerful addition to your TeaCosyFolk collection. Let your needles take flight and bring this little bird to life, one cosy at a time.
