Assembly and Design

1. Eyes: Place on the 10th–11th round, 3 stitches apart. Use 3 mm black beads or safety eyes.
2. Wings: Attach on the 9th–8th round, centered on each side.
3. Beak: Embroider it between the eyes using a small length of contrast yarn.
4. Optional: Add legs, a tail, or embroidered details to personalize your bird.

Finishing Tips

• Use tailor pins to position eyes and wings before sewing to get symmetrical placement.
• Adjust stuffing to achieve the desired firmness; overstuffing will distort shape.
• Securely weave in ends and stitch parts firmly if the toy will be handled frequently.
• Color swaps: follow the round color notes (GREEN, YELLOW) or choose your own palette for different species or styles.

Enjoy making your little bird and experiment with size and colors — smaller hooks and thinner yarn will produce a tinier bird, while larger yarn and hooks will yield a bigger, squishier toy.
