Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in brown, cream, and orange
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill or similar stuffing material
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends and sewing pieces together

Step-by-Step Instructions

Body

1. Using the brown yarn, start with a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
4. Round 3: (Sc in the next stitch, increase) around (18 stitches total).
5. Continue this increasing pattern until you reach 36 stitches. The pattern for increasing is:
   • Round 4: (Sc in the next 2 stitches, increase) around (24 stitches).
   • Round 5: (Sc in the next 3 stitches, increase) around (30 stitches).
   • Round 6: (Sc in the next 4 stitches, increase) around (36 stitches).
6. Work even (sc in each stitch) for 10 rounds.

Decreasing the Body

1. Begin decreasing: (Sc in the next stitch, decrease) around until you have 6 stitches left.
2. Fasten off and stuff the body firmly with polyester fiberfill.

Head

1. Repeat the body instructions using the brown yarn but stop at 30 stitches.
2. Work even for 8 rounds before beginning to decrease.

Attaching the Head

1. Carefully attach the head to the body using the tapestry needle and brown yarn. Make sure it is securely fastened.

Wings

1. Using the cream yarn, chain 10.
2. In the 2nd chain from the hook, crochet 1 sc, then sc across (total 9 sc).
3. Turn your work and crochet 3 more rows of sc.
4. On the next row, decrease at each end (this will create a wing shape).
5. Fasten off and attach the wings to the body using the tapestry needle.

Eyes

1. Using the white yarn, make a magic ring and crochet 6 sc into the ring. Pull tight and fasten off.
2. Using black yarn, embroider pupils onto the white eyes and attach them to the head using the tapestry needle.

Beak

1. Using the orange yarn, crochet a small triangle for the beak. You can do this by chaining 3, then sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, and sc in the last chain.
2. Attach the beak below the eyes using the tapestry needle.
