Hello
I love this Robin. You said you think this was done with cotton thread is this the same as embroidery cotton.
hi
I use crochet cotton thread not embroidery thread, but, technically, you can use any thread
thank you
These are super cute little robins and great fun to make! I wondered if you give permission for any that I make to be sold please?
thank you
I don’t mind, I will be happy you sell the items you make from my patterns

US

Hi,
OMG I’ve just discovered you – how fabulous are your designs?!?!?!!!!
Love this little robin but could you give me more information re yarn and hook size please? Would love to make them as earrings
hi
to be honest, I don’t remember. most likely, it’s size 3 crochet cotton thread with 1.75mm hook (or size 5 thread and 1.0mm hook).
thank you
