Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Bubble Stitch Feet: For clean color transition, always pull final loop through with body color, not feet color.
• Wing Placement: Pay close attention to stitch markers during wing attachment and while crocheting around wings in next round to avoid misplacement.
• Closing: Use the front loops only method for a neat finish.
• Stuffing: Stuff smoothly but avoid over-stuffing to maintain shape.

Helpful Tip

Using extra stitch markers makes placements and transitions easier, especially for the wings and feet. If you're a beginner, don't skip the markers-they help keep your piece symmetrical and easier to shape.
