Assembly & Finishing

Sew the beak to the front of the head using the long tail left after finishing the beak. Attach safety eyes securely between rows 18 and 19 as indicated. Sew the arms and legs into position on the body. Stitch the little bow to the head or neck area and fasten the skirt to the front loops you worked in BLO on row 8. Use a needle and matching yarn to hide joins and ends neatly.

Tips

— Work with consistent tension to keep stitches even.
— Stuff the body lightly for a soft, cuddly shape; legs and arms are not stuffed per the pattern.
— Use safety eyes rated for toys if the amigurumi will be given to children, or embroider eyes for greater safety.
— Weave in ends securely and double-check sewn-on parts before gifting.
