Materials Needed
- Medium weight (4) yarn in white, yellow, and gray
- 10 mm safety eyes
- Stitch marker
- Tapestry needle
- Stuffing
- 5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
Body (Start with Yellow Yarn for Beak)
Magic Ring
- Wrap yarn around hand to form an X, hook goes under, then over.
- Pull through, twist, and pull off hand.
- Do a chain stitch to secure the magic ring.
- Round 1: 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
- Round 2: Increase (2 sc in each stitch) around (12 sc).
- Round 3: 1 sc, then an increase repeat around (18 sc).
- Rounds 4-8: Repeat increase pattern (adding a single crochet to the sequence before each increase for every round) until you reach the desired size for the body.
Next Few Rounds: Do one single crochet in every stitch around for five rounds without increasing. This creates the cylindrical body shape.
- Begin Decreasing: Similar to the increase rounds but in reverse, reducing the stitches to close off the body. Start with 3 sc, then a decrease repeat around, and then 2 sc and a decrease, followed by 1 sc and a decrease until almost closed.
Stuff the Body: Before closing up entirely, fill the body with stuffing to the desired firmness.
- Final Decreases: Close the body with a few more decrease stitches and fasten off, weaving in the end.
Beak (Switch to Yellow Yarn)
Create another magic ring.
- Round 1: 6 sc in the magic ring.
- Round 2: 1 sc in each stitch around (6 sc), to lengthen the beak slightly.
- Round 3: Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
- Rounds 4-5: 1 sc in each stitch around for two rounds.
- Finish: Slip stitch and leave a long tail for sewing the beak onto the body. Stuff slightly or use the yarn tail to give it shape.
Wings and Tail (Use Gray Yarn)
- Repeat steps similar to the body but on a smaller scale for each wing and the tail.
Assembly
- Sew the beak, wings, and tail to the body.
- Attach the safety eyes.
- Embroider any additional details such as feet or facial features.
Optional Details
- To create tufts of hair or detail on the head, cut small strands of white yarn, tie them to the head, and unravel the ends for a textured look.
