Finish Kiiroitori Chick

After all parts are finished we only need to put them together. First you should do this with pins, so later everything will fit well.

You will start with sewing the wings. Fold them flat and sew them with the opening horizontally around the 11th round. Each wing has a distance of 2 stitches to the outer edge of the eyes. For sewing you can use the thread ends.

Now you can also sew the tail with the thread ends. Place it on the back and sew it horizontally around the 18th round. The tail is the counterweight to the body, so the chick can be seated.

Next we sew the beak with the opening to the head. Place it exactly between the eyes and let the small flap shows down so it looks like the beak is opened.

Next also the legs will be folded flat and sewn around the 23rd round at the bottom of the body. The legs should have a distance of 2 stitches to each other and you can use here the thread ends as well.

At least take some pink paint and colourize some cheeks.

Finished is your self crocheted Kiiroitori chick. I hope it will make you happy!
