Important Notes:
- When creating the wings and tail, ensure that the wing stitches are worked into the next stitch, not the same one. Start counting sc from the stitch immediately after the wing.
- In the following round, crochet into the stitches before and after the wing; do not crochet into the wing itself. Fold the wing upward so it sits above the hook while crocheting.
