Assembly

1 – glue the eyes between the 4th and 5th rounds; there are 7 sc between the eyes.
2 – sew on the beak on rounds 5 and 6 in the middle between the eyes.
3 – comb: moving from the back to the beak. Insert the hook under a stitch of the second round (closer to the back), attach orange thread, then make 3 ch, work 1 sc under the next stitch (it’s in the first round already), again make 3 ch, then 1 sc under the next stitch of the first round, 2 ch and 1 sc under a stitch of the second round. Cut off and secure the thread, weave in.
See photo. 6 sew on the wings on the sides of the body. I have them approximately in rounds 7-13, counting from the bottom.
