Rd 8: BLO – 24 sc (24)
Rd 9 – 14: 24 sc (24)
We’re going to complete the mask trim first, so we can insert the safety eyes and then continue with the body.

Bottom Mask Trim
In mint yarn, hold the head upside down. Insert your hook in the first front loop of round 7 and continue the following round:
FLO – 6 slst, (1 sc, 3 hdc in the next stitch, 1 sc, 6 slst) x 2 (28)
Cut yarn, fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Using the yarn tail, sew a few stitches to secure the curved eye mask detail to the head.

Top Mask Trim
In mint yarn, hold the head upside down and insert your hook into the first post-stitch between round 5 & 6 (see image 2):
24 slst in the post-stitches between round 5 & 6 (24)
Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.
Insert safety eyes between round 6 & 7, above the stitch you made the 3 hdc in for the bottom mask trim 

Body
Let’s continue with the body.
Rd 15: FLO – (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
Rd 16: 30 sc (30)
Stuff the head firmly and continue stuffing the body as you go.
Find the middle of the body at the back and mark with a stitch marker, this will be our new starting point for the following round – (I crocheted an additional 2 stitches to centralize):

Rd 17: 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc) x 2, 14 sc, (inc, 2 sc) x 2, inc, 1 sc (36)
Chain 7, starting in the 2nd loop from the hook, continue the following rounds as we begin to make the tail. The first stitch of the next round will be our new starting point, mark with stitch marker:
Rd 18: 6 sc along the chain, 14 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 14 sc, 6 sc along other side of the chain (46)
Rd 19 – 20: 46 sc (46)
Rd 21: 1 sc, dec, 3 sc, (dec, 9 sc) x 3, dec, 3 sc, dec (40)
Rd 22: 3 sc, dec, (6 sc, dec) x 4, 3 sc (35)

Rd 26: 24 sc (24)
Rd 27: 1 sc, dec, (2 sc, dec) x 5, 1 sc (18)
Rd 28: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)

Legs x 2
In mustard yarn.
Rd 1: 6 sc into MR. (6)
Rd 2: BLO – 6 sc (6)
Rd 3 – 8: 6 sc (6)
Cut yarn, fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Stuff the leg firmly.
With the leg opening facing downwards, attach natural yarn in the first front loop of round 1 and continue to the following rounds to create the upper legs.

Rd 5: (5 sc, inc) x 2 (14)
Rd 6: (6 sc, inc) x 2 (16)
Flatten with the increase stitches in the middle to create a slight curve and crochet a few additional stitches until you reach the side of the foot (see image 4 – I crocheted an additional 3 sc). Working through both loops to close:
Chain 1, 3 hdc in first stitch, 2 slst, 3 hdc in next stich, 2 slst, 3 hdc in next stitch, slst in last stitch.

Row 3: (1 sc, inc) x 13, 1 ch and turn (39)
Row 4 – 9: 39 sc, 1 ch and turn (39)
Skip the 1 ch for the last row. Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.
We will now finish the cape by creating a border and the ties. Right side facing up, with the collar section towards you, attach sea green yarn to the first row on the right side (see image 6):
1 sc in each row (8), in the last stitch BLO – 1 Sc, 1 ch, 1 sc to create the corner. Continue along the bottom edge by crocheting BLO – 1 sc in each stitch and another BLO – 1 Sc, 1 ch, 1 sc in the last stitch. 1 sc in each row (8).

Chain 19, starting in the 2nd chain from hook, 18 slst. Continue crocheting 1 sc along the starting chain of the collar (14). Chain 19, starting in the 2nd chain from hook, 18 slst and slst into the starting stitch to finish.
Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.

Assembly
• Sew the beak to the head over rounds 7 – 9.
• Sew the legs to the feet over rounds 2 – 3.
• Leave the upper part of the leg unstuffed and sew to the bottom of the body on either side over rounds 26 – 28, if you’re making Calypso standing up. Cr sew to the front of the body over rounds 22 – 24 (about 1-2 stitches apart), if you’re making Calypso in a sitting position.
• Sew the wings to the sides of the body over rounds 17 – 23.
• Sew the tail to the tip of the body.
• Using black thread, insert your needle at the back of the head and come out 2 stitches away from the eye between round 6 – 7. Wrap the thread around the eye and insert your needle back into the same stitch. Tuck the thread under the safety eye by gently pulling. Tie a knot at the back to secure and weave in ends.
• Using salmon yarn or thread, sew a line or two under the eye, 2 stitches long to create a blush cheek.
• Sew the mask tie in the middle of the back of the head between round 6 -7.
• Tie the cape onto Calypso with a simple knot.
