ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     TIP...For anything that I’m going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
     FEET...try to find the position you like best. I place mine between rounds 17 and 18; approx. .60" apart. Only sew the 2 first rounds from the feet to the body.

     FEATHERS...located the center of the back and place the feathers above round 14.

     FEATHERS on top of the head...place it on round 1.

     WINGS...align them with the feet and place them on round 11. Only sew the top portion leaving the rest of the wing unsew so he can flap around.

     BEAK...if needed lightly stuffed it. Place it between rounds 10 and 11.
     WATTLE…using red felt; make a rounded “L” shape and glue it on either side of the beak as shown in the picture below.

     EYES...using black felt make 2 small circles. Place them between rounds 8 and 9; approx. 1" apart.

     FEET...try to find the position you like best. I place mine between round 20 and 21; approx. .50" apart. Only sew the 2 first rounds from the feet to the body.

     FLIPPERS...there is no need to stuff them, but you can place a pipe cleaner inside, so you will be able to move the flipper around. The side where we did the increases will be facing the back. Align them with the feet and place them on round 13. Only sew the top portion leaving the rest of the flipper unsew so he can flap around.

     SPOT...using white felt make an "apple-shaped" and place it in the center of the body.
 Just a little tip...if you are gluing your piece in place only place glue around the outer, not all-around cause it would make it difficult for you to sew the beak in place.

     BEAK...there is no need to stuff it simply flatten it out. Place it between round 13 and 14 in the center of our white spot. Tip...I used a ruler and pins to guide me in finding the correct spot.

     EYES...with black felt make 2 circles and with white make 2 much smaller circles. Place the black eyes between round 9 and 10; approx .75" apart. The white circles will be placed on the upper part of the black eyes.

     BLUSH...using pink embroidery floss or thread, embroider a line underneath the eye for the blush. You can also use pink felt and make a tiny circle or you can use makeup blush and apply some using a q-tip.

How to crochet on the 3rd loop of the hdc stitch?
As you have seen in the picture below, theirs a “third” loop in the half double crochet stitch. In addition, the two main loops (the V on the top of each stitch which is referred to as the front loop and back loop). By crocheting into the third loop, you will be pushing the top V (the front and back loops) forward. This will make it look a lot like knitting. At least on the right side of your project.

SCARF with color of choice
  Row 1 [RS]: ch162, hdc in 3rd ch from hook and across, ch2, turn (176)
  Row 2 [WS]: 3rd loops only for this row hdc in each st across, ch2, turn (176)
  Row 3 [RS]: back loops only for this row hdc in each st across, ch2, turn (176)
Repeat row 2 and 3 until you reach the desired width. Finished the scarf with a row 2.
The scarf shown here consists of 18 rows.
F/O, secure and weave in the ends
