Yellow Bullet Bird - Angry Birds


I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn for all of it.
Size G hook
Body – Yellow Yarn
The body is made in one large triangle and then all the sides are folded
together to make a 4 sided triangle.  For
the triangle, when turning work DO NOT ch1 and skip the first  SC. This will decrease the row by one so you can get the triangle
shape. 
1.      Ch 47
2.      Sc in 2nd ch from hook and  in each chain across
3.      Turn – do not ch 1 and skip the first sc.  SC across – continue like this until you have
a complete triangle.
4.      Fold all sides together.  Sew together one of the seams and leave the
rest open until you put in the safety eyes
Eyes – White yarn
Make 2
1.      6 SC in magic circle
2.      2 SC in each SC around, sl st and fasten
off.  Leave enough yarn to sew to body
Put in safety eyes and attach to body.  Then you can sew together the rest of the
seams.  Stuff the body with polyfill or
beans if you want a more solid bird.
Eyebrows – Red Yarn
Make 2
1.      Ch  9
2.      HDC in 4th chain from hook
3.      SC in next 2 ch
4.      Sl st in next 2 ch, fasten off and leave enough
yarn for sewing. 
When sewing eyebrows to head, use only two strands of yarn.  It makes the eyebrows less bulky.
Beak – Orange Yarn
Make 2 triangles.  Do the same as for
the body.  DO NOT ch 1 when turning and
skip first sc
1.      Ch 9
2.      Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch
across
3.      Turn and sc in each sc across, skipping  1st sc.  Do not ch 1 at beginning of row.  Repeat until you have a triangle.  Finish off and leave enough yarn for sewing.
Sew both triangles together and stuff.  Sew to body.
Feathers for top of head – black yarn
Larger feather
1.      Ch 15
2.      dc in 4th ch from hook
3.      dc in next 2 ch
4.      hdc in next 4 ch
5.      sc in remaining chains
6.      finish off, leaving enough yarn to sew to top of
head
Smaller Feather
1.      ch 10
2.      dc in 4th ch from hook
3.      hdc in next 2 ch
4.      sc in remaining chains
5.      finish off, leaving enough yarn to sew to top of
head

  1. This one would be really fun larger and as a cover for a hot water bottle or rice pack for sore joints or backs.
