Sewing needle
Knowledge of embroidery (for beak)

Abbreviations:
sc: single crochet
inc: increase
fo: fasten off

Hat (in red)

You are going to crochet in the continual round, meaning that you are crocheting in a circle without slip stitches every row. And I advise you to place your yarn marker at the beginning of the round so you don't lose your spot!


Round 1: magic circle/ch 2 -- 12 single crochet (in ch 1 space)
Round 2: 1 sc around                                                  (12 sc)
Round 3: inc around                                                    (24 sc)
Round 4: 1 sc around                                                  (24 sc)
Round 5: [sc, inc] around                                            (36 sc)
Round 6: 1 sc around                                                  (36 sc)
Round 7: [sc, sc, inc] around                                       (48 sc)
Round 8: 1 sc around                                                  (48 sc)
Round 9: [sc, sc, sc, inc] around                                  (60 sc)
Round 10: 1 sc around                                                (60 sc)
Round 11: [sc, sc, sc, sc, inc] around                          (72 sc)
Round 12: 1 sc around                                                (72 sc)


(See the pattern? Inc row, 1 sc row, inc row, 1 sc row...) You can stop increasing whenever you want. If the hat is still not wide enough, keep increasing by adding one more sc before the increases. (ie: [sc, sc, sc, sc, inc] around --->1 sc around ---> [sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, inc] around)

Eye (with white) (x2)
