MATERIALS
vð Worsted Weight Yarn (Medium #4) (325 yards total)
vð MC (main color) head, wings; CC (contrasting
color) beak; AC (accent color) top tassel -
optional
vð Black or other color for eyes
vð Crochet Hook I (5.5mm)  or hook recommended by your yarn
vð Crochet Hook G (4.0-4.5mm)  or a size or two smaller recommended
vð Tapestry Needle, Stitch Marker, Fiberfill
NOTES
vð 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.
vð An I hook with worsted weight yarn should give you around an 18 blanket square.
vð 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
vð Use stitch marker to hold your place when working in continuous rounds
vð 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.
