Robin needlepoint patterns

Most show an American robin perched in profile on a branch, with a dark head and back.

It is drawn in several styles, and the folk art one shows two robins face to face. The classic one is built like the classic cardinal on the Cardinals page, so that a robin and a cardinal make a pair. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made round or as an eight-inch mini pillow on 13 mesh. The thread lists are long for a small bird, so sort the colors before you begin.
