Say hello to Chelsea the Black-Necked stilt as she struts into the menagerie! With their elegant black and white plumage, rose pink legs and long thin bill, these shorebirds can be found in mudflats, saltmarshes, salt pans and flooded fields in the wild. Standing only a few centimetres shorter than her wild cousins, this woolly version of the black-necked stilt will look rather stately perched on your shelf and will bring joy to your home all year round.

This cute crochet bird pattern forms part of our Edward’s Menagerie collection of amigurumi crochet toys designed by Kerry Lord. This amigurumi crochet animal kit contains our luxurious pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern with help video links for all the techniques.
