The Beak

3. Leave a long tail for sewing the beak onto the chick's face.

Attaching Features

The Mini Flower (Optional)

1. Start with a magic ring using green yarn and make 5 sc into the ring. Close the ring.
2. Change to pink yarn for the petals. For each petal: Chain 2, make a double crochet in the same stitch, chain 2 again, and slip stitch in the same stitch.
3. Repeat for all five petals. Hide the green tail inside the flower. Attach the flower to the chick as desired, using glue for permanence, if preferred.
