Notes

Knitted as a friend for monster Hugo. Hugo has a pocket that Otto likes to ride/snuggle in.

Knitted for a friend/co-workers son.

Error in pattern:
Last row in leg before the divide should read:
Next round: K3, kfb, K7, kfb, K4. 18 sts.

Toes…
You will knit 3 from the top & 3 from the bottom (in the round) to form each toe.

Foot:
I sewed part of the ankle to the foot so it had more structure.

Wings:
Not a big fan of the wings. Next time I would knit them differently. Knitting them in the round so they have more structure.

Felt & floss used to create the face.

Added a beak… because birds need beaks.

Head feathers:
Used a crochet hook… chain 10, attached to 1st chain, chain 15, attached to 1st chain, chain 10, attach to first chain. End. Use yarn tails to sew feathers in position.

Added tail feathers in the same manor as the head feathers: Chain 12, 20, 12
