Level and materials
Advanced project. It requires following long sequences, short rows, front and back loops, increases and decreases, mirrored sides and substantial sewing. The source uses a 5 mm / US H hook and Caron Simply Soft yarn. Most parts use two strands held together; wing membranes use a single strand. Prepare a substantial quantity of yarn and stuffing, a large-eye yarn needle and stitch markers for placement.
