NOTES:
re worked in continuous spirals; do not join or turn work at end unless stated. Each part should be stuffed firmly (if stuffing is indicated), but not so much as to cause the stitches to gap and the stuffing to show. While exact gauge is not essential, this project was created using differing yarn weights for various parts, and using weights other than specified might result in a finished project that with skewed proportions. This pattern was created using 100% Cotton worsted weight yarn with a U.S. size F-5 (3.75 mm) hook, and DK/Sport weight yarn with a U.S. size D-3 (3.25 mm) hook. Finished size is approximately 6" (15 cm) when made as specified.

Finishing: Following the sewing order listed will help to place each piece evenly and avoid having a skewed, off center Chick-a-biddie...Disregard if you want that added personality.
Sew body to head. Flatten each wing cone into a triangle and sew to either side of the body, reinforcing the ends where the kiddos might pull more. Sew the tail onto the back end of the body, evenly spaced between the wings. Sew on feet to the bottom front of the Chick-a-biddie, each ball placed about even with the front end of either wing. Sew the beak onto the head. Embroider on eyes.
