Materials:
#4 worsted weight yarn, approx 450 yards
Polyfibre fill
G 4mm hook (gauge is not important in this item, if you wish to use a smaller hook, or larger hook this will simply change the size of the finished product)
Needle for sewing in ends and attaching pieces
Safety Eyes: 27mm used on the one pictured here
Stitch Guide:
sc: single crochet
sc incr: single crochet increase
sc dec: single crochet decrease
sl: slip stitch ch: chain
dc: double crochet
dc incr: double crochet increase
3 dc incr: three double crochet in one stitch
5 dc shell: 5 dc in one stitch
Special Instructions: I suggest using the invisible dec wherever it says in the pattern to do a dec, it helps with the overall look of the item, and helps to reduce stuffing showing
through on those rows/rounds
Wings: I made these wings with Loops and Thread Impeccable, this tends to be a stiffer yarn, so they do stay out on their own. I also made these wings with Craftsmart, which tends to be softer, and they were floppy. So the stiffer your yarn, the more the wings will stand out on their own.
