[Note: vary the length of the lsc sts to resemble feathers, see photo.] FO leaving a 6” tail to attach the wing.

Secure all ends with the exception of the final 6” tail by weaving in or tying them to another tail on the WS of the wing. These tails will be hidden once the wing is attached to the body.

Position wings at an angle on either side of the body with the tips of the wing (the ch 3 from the instructions above) facing the back, and attach 15 rounds from the bottom of the body, and with 6 sts between the wing tips. Pin in place with straight pins if desired. See photos.

Using a tapestry needle and the 6” tail, sew the first wing to the body around the perimeter until approx 1” remains open. Make sure all other ends are tucked under the wing. Add a little bit of poly stuffing under the wing to shape, then finish sewing the wing to the body. Repeat for wing two, making sure to line up the tips of the wings.

With C1, the tail is worked directly onto the body, centered between the wing tips. From the bottom of the body, count up 11 rounds. You will be working into 9 sts between the wings.
