12 days of Christmas: DIY Angry birds cozy

Today I'm going to share a quick and easy last minute present that is sure to please, inspired by the very popular game Angry birds.

You will need:

- G or 4.25 mm crochet hook
- Red, black, white, yellow, and tan worsted weight yarn
- Yarn needle


Abbreviations:

Ch = chain
Sl st = slip stitch
St = stitch
Sc = single crochet


Instructions:

Body(make two):
1. Ch 12 sts.
2. Sc starting from the second st from crochet hook, sc the rest of the row. Total = 11 sts.
3. Ch 1, turn, sc 11 sts. Total = 11 sts.
4. Repeat row 3, 13 times. Total = 11 sts.
5. Cut off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Face:

Eyes(make two):
1. Ch 6 sts, to form loop.
2. 2 Sc into each st. Sl st on last st. Total = 12 sts.
3. Cut off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Eyebrow:
1. Ch 8 sts.
2. Sc starting from the second st from crochet hook, sc the rest of the row. Total = 7 sts.
3. On the last st ch 8 sts, turn and repeat row 2. Total = 14 sts.
4. Connect both rows you just created by making a sl st in the middle of the first row you made. Total = 14 sts.
5. Cut off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Beak:
1. Ch 6 sts, to form loop.
2. 2 Sc into each st. Sl st on last st. Total = 12 sts.

Brown body:
1. Ch 12 sts.
2. Sc starting from the second st from crochet hook, sc the rest of the row. Total = 11 sts.
3. Ch 1, turn, sc 11 sts. Total = 11 sts.
4. Repeat row 3, 2 times. Total = 11 sts.

6. Ch 1, turn, 1 dec, sc 2 sts, 1 dec. Total = sts.
7. Cut off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Arrange all of the parts according on one of the red piece and sew. Sew the brown body, then the beak, then eyebrows, and lastly the eyes. I found this way was the easiest.

Now sew both of the red pieces together and you are done!

This cozy makes a great gift for anyone who is a fan of the game Angry birds. Plus this cozy only takes about an hour to make. I hope you enjoyed this DIY.


Happy Holidays
