Large Rory the Northern Cardinal

£72.00

Rory the Northern Cardinal joined the menagerie for Christmas 2018 as part of the TOFT Mystery Advent CAL and continues to be a festive favourite for many today. A fun pattern that is perfect for learning a variety of crochet techniques, this kit was inspired by the northern cardinal, also known as the red cardinal; a bird renowned for its beautiful red plumage which is gained from the fruit it eats including wild grapes, mulberries and dogwood berries. Now you can make an extra large version of this gorgeous bird with TOFT's ARAN yarn!
