ASSEMBLY AND DESIGN
We do tightening. To do this, take a long needle and strong thread. Insert the needle into
T1 below, output to
T2 near the inner lower corner of the eye, insert the needle into
T3 at the inner upper corner of the eye and bring it to
T4 (inner upper corner of the second eye). Insert the needle into
T5 (inner lower corner of the second eye) and display it in
T6 retreating one column from T1. At the same time we pull on both tails, slightly tightening the eyes. You don’t need to tighten it too much, we don’t need to form the cheeks and bridge of the nose, we’re just shaping the look so that the eyes move a little towards the middle and look straight at you. We make a strong knot. We cut the thread and hide the tails inside.
We embroider the eyebrows with black semi-cotton thread (I use Yarnart jeans). We embroider the whites of the eyes with white plush thread.
We pin the wings on the sides with pins. We sew the wings around the circumference, making sure that they are located symmetrically.
We sew the paws on the bottom of the body.
Sew the tail at the bottom center back. We sew on the last row in the same way as the paws, and attach each of the three feathers in the middle with a couple of stitches to the body.
Sew the beak in the middle between the eyes.
We make a forelock. Attach curls at the top to MR.
We thread a thread from each curl into a loop on the head, tie knots and hide the ends of the threads in the head.
Our little siskin is ready! He turned out so cute!
Thanks for knitting with me!
