Wings

(Make 2)

With blue yarn, start with a magic ring.

Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] 5 times (15)

Rnd 4 to 9: sc in each st around (15)

Fasten off, and leave a long tail for sewing. Stuff them but not too much; you want the wings to remain flat, and not round.

Sewing the Wings

Position the wings on each side of the plane and pin them with needles. Sew around using the stitches of the wing and plane to attach them together. Weave in loose ends.

Insert the needle in one of the stitches of the plane, then in one of the stitches of the wings. Continue all the way around. Make sure that both wings are leveled.

Propellers

Cut two pieces of red felt in the shape of propellers, about 1 inch long. Cut a circle in black felt. Glue the propellers first to the front of the plane, then the circle on top of them.

Conclusion

Voila! Your little airplane is ready to take off.
