Feet

You’re going to make the right feet first. Attach a new yarn color for the feet in between of Round 14 - 15 and make sure that it is align with the wing. To attach the new yarn, just insert your hook under the stitch and ch 1. 

Round 1: Insert 1sc in the same st as the ch 1, 2sc

Fasten off.

To make the left feet, count 3 stitches from the right feet. You should have 3 stitches in between of the two feet. Then repeat the step above.

Beak

From the top of the head, count 6 rows. attach your yarn by using the same step as the feet. 

Round 1: Insert 1sc in the same st as the ch 1, 2sc

Round 2: Ch 1, sl st, 1sc, sl st

Fasten off.

Cape / scarf

★ Use 3mm yarn and 3mm crochet hook.

Round 1: Ch 5, 5sc

Round 2- 26: Ch 1, 5sc

Round 27: Ch 1, 1sc in the row and in the 5 ch that we did on round 1. Then at the other side, continue this pattern (skip, 5dc, skip, sl st) x 6, 5sc at the top

Then, ch how long you want the strap to tie the cape and scarf. I ch mine until it is 8cm long. After that fasten off. Next, attach your yarn at the other corner of the cape. Attach your yarn anywhere as long as it’s in the corner. Then, ch until it is the same length as the other strap and fasten off.
