To make Little Bird & her Tree Home you will need:
Little amounts of worsted weight yarn in yellow, green and brown
6 mm plastic eyes with safety backings
Red buttons and a little piece of felt for beak
Size F/5 (4 mm) crochet hook
Fiberfill or stuffing of your choice
When I made them the tree ended up being approx. 5.5 inches/14 cm tall. Depending on your
tension and the yarn you use, they might end up being a little bit smaller or a little bit bigger.

Abbreviations I used:
ch = chain
dc= double crochet
hdc = half double crochet (UK: half-treble crochet)
dec = decrease
R = round
sc = single crochet (UK: dc double crochet)
tr = treble crochet (UK: double treble)
sk = skip
sl st = slip st (UK: sc single crochet)
st(s) = stitch(es)
* = repeat directions between * and * as many times as indicated
