Notes:
I offer this pattern for free and I only ask for two things in
return. 1) Please do not sell the pattern, or the
product of this pattern, and 2) I would love if you shared with me a picture of
what you made.
The yellow bird can be worked in the continuous spiral, or
by joining rounds. I worked him by
joining rounds. I also used safety eyes,
but these can be replaced with little felt cut-outs. In order to use the safety eyes they must be
attached to the body before you finish crocheting the body. I suggest sewing the entire face on before
completing the body. Also, I used Red
Heart: Super Saver yarn. This pattern has not yet been tested so there may be
some mistakes. If you find one please tell me so that I can fix it.

Assembly:
Because I wanted to use safety eyes I sew the eye white on the bird’s body before I finished crocheting the body. I also sewed the rest of the facial features (beak, belly and eyebrows) so that I could more properly place the eyes. After finished the body I attached the head feathers.
