Count 17 rows down from beginning MR, mark with a stitch marker (I used pins as you can see in the below pictures). Count 24 rows down from beginning MR, mark with a stitch marker. Stuff bottom of the piece firmly.
Bend wire as shown below (wire should be a little longer than the total wingspan, bend should fit inside body without bulging out). Insert wire straight through the body, using the first stitch marker as a guide. Pack stuffing on top of the wire being sure that it is even and that the wire is compressed (this will stop the wire twisting from the weight of the wings).
Repeat above with the second set of wings. From here you will need to fold the wire in so you can continue to crochet around them. Stuff very firmly as you go.
Row 31: (5 sc, dec) x 6 (36)
Row 32: (4 sc, dec) x 6 (30)
Row 33: (3 sc, dec) x 6 (24) (start stuffing firmly)
Row 34: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)
Row 35: (sc, dec) x 6 (12)
Row 36: 6 dec (6)
Fo. Weave in any ends.
Bend the ends of the wires so that they are slightly shorter than the length of each wing, cutting excess if needed. Secure ends with tape.
Thread the wings onto the wires. Stitch the base of the wings in place (make sure there is a 2 stitch height gap between). Next, secure the wires to the top edge of the wings with yarn.
