Completion
• Sew wings to the body. The tip stitch to the back. Place them sideways 1st above the legs. Just sew the front part. The wings do have a visible distance of about 10 stitches from each other (seen from the belly).
• Sew the tail to the body between the wings on the back, above round 26-28. Stuff it lightly when sewing. Depending on the direction of the row part of the tail, the tail is facing up or down (my rows facing downwards).
• Sew the beak to the center of the head over rounds 11-12. The threads from the color change will suffice for stuffing. The increase from round 5 is on top.
• Embroider the eyes to the right and left of the beak, 1 stitch apart of it, over rounds, 10-11. Feel free to embroider them as you like them best.
Congratulations, that is all.
