Materials Needed

I used size D and E crochet hooks to make my bird more the size we were looking for, one that can fit in the palm of your hand.

Quick Notes Before You Start

Here’s a few quick notes that will help before you start the pattern:

• Do not join rounds unless indicated
• Some pieces are closed with a long ending tail. To close this way, thread a tapestry needle, weave through remaining stitches, and pull tight to close.
