Somewhere between the majestic eagle and the noble swan, there exists a whole category of bird that is simply a little unhinged. Bird-loving knitters have always known this – they’ve even made bird patterns for knitters to show the world. Here are six kooky bird patterns to prove it … plus a bonus chicken hat pattern which counts as kooky, look at that cool comb! P.S. This is a space that’s absolutely overrun with AI slop – fake patterns, etc – so I’ve carefully vetted these patterns for you. If you’re curious about my process, I wrote a bit about it here.
