ReplyDeleteThis is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. I'm in love and can't wait to make it.
ReplyDeleteCan I sell them but crédit u?
ReplyDeletecan you make a video because i do not understand.
ReplyDeleteAwesome easy version compared to some realistic looking much harder ones ive seen on etsy. Definitely intermediate friendly! I used some magic circles for the cheeks and wings and turned out great. Thanks for this pattern!
ReplyDeleteI added some tail feathers. 1 big 2 small.
Delete1 big: chain 9, down the chains: sc, hdc, 3dc, hdc, sc to end.
2 smaller: chain 9, down the chains: sc, hdc, 2dc, hdc, 2 sc and slip stitch into last chain.
sewed big ontop in the middle, sewed 2 small to the sides slightly underneath. fit perfect with the pattern!
