Matthew the Leghorn Cockerel


£25.00
First released as a crochet kit for Easter 2019, Matthew the Leghorn Cockerel has become a firm favourite in the TOFT flock. Full of character, this classic bird is probably what springs to the forefront of your mind when you think of a rooster, particularly if you watched cartoons as a child! With his timeless combination of white plumage and orange or red facial features, this rooster makes a great addition to your crochet bird display. The rooster is also the tenth animal to appear in the Zodiac calendar, and represents hardworking, resourceful and courageous characteristics.
