Bring the thread to the middle of the inside part of the wing.
Beak
With ornage yarn:
R 1: 4 sc in mc (4)
R 2: (1 sc, inc) * 2 (8)
Do not stuff.
Cut off the thread, leave a thread end for sewing.
Assembly
- Glue the eyes between 4th and 5th rows, there are 7 sc between the eyes.
- Sew on the beak on rows 5 and 6 in the middle between the eyes.
- Comb: moving from the back to the beak. Insert the hook under a stitch of the second row (closer to the back), attach orange thread, then make 3 ch, work 1 sc under the next stitch (it’s in the first row already), again make 3 ch, then 1 sc under the next stitch of the first row, 2 ch and 1 sc under a stitch of the second row. Cut off and secure the thread, weave in.
- Sew on the wings on the sides of the body. I have them approximately in rows 7-13 counting from the bottom.
