Bow Tie:
Ch 11 R1: Skip first 2 ch, hdc 1 in each of the next 9 ch. Ch2, turn R2-4: skipping the chains, hdc 1 in each of the next 9 hdc. Ch2, turn R5: skipping the chains, hdc 1 in each of the next 9 hdc, tie off. Weave in the ends of the bow tie and cut the excess yarn. Taking the end of the yarn on the ball, wrap around the middle of the rectangle several times.
Finishing:
Cut 2 ovals out of the black felt and use the black thread to sew on the whites of the eyes. Sew the finished eyes onto the body near the open edge of body. Taking the orange yarn, sew a triangle directly under the eyes (this is the beak). Sew the bow tie under the beak, and stuff the body. Sew the top together and tie off.
