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 alredy), 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.
4. Sew on the wings on the sides of the body. I have them approximately in rounds 7-13 counting from the bottom.
