MATERIALS

 Worsted Weight Yarn (Medium #4) (325 yards total)

 MC (main color) head, wings; CC (contrasting

color) beak; AC (accent color) top tassel -
optional

 Black or other color for eyes

 Crochet Hook I (5.5mm) – or hook recommended by your yarn
 Crochet Hook G (4.0-4.5mm) – or a size or two smaller recommended
 Tapestry Needle, Stitch Marker, Fiberfill

NOTES

 Gauge is not important to this project – so you may use other weights of yarn as well. Just make sure you are

using a comfortable hook for the yarn you choose.

 An I hook with worsted weight yarn should give you around an 18” blanket square.
 Use a size or two smaller than recommended by your yarn for the head and wings to make sure the stuffing

doesn’t show through

 Use stitch marker to hold your place when working in continuous rounds
 Beaks should be sewn with the top of the beak hitting about the halfway point on the head. Eyes should be at

the halfway point.

EMBROIDERING EYES

With black yarn sew repeatedly over two stitches that are
next to each other either horizontally or vertically.

To make larger eyes you can also sew multiple times from
the bottom stitch to the stitch next to the top stitch. Then
sew from the bottom stitch to the top of the stitch next
to the bottom stitch. Then sew over the top of the three
top stitches.
