3. Put the cap on the head and sew it.

4. Weave in all the yarn tails of the wing parts with the tapestry needle. The wrong side should look neat. Sew two lower parts of the wings together, as well as upper parts. Then sew lower parts to the upper parts as it’s shown in the picture.

Sew wings to the back.

5. Now we’re going to make antennae. They’re placed between 12th and 13th rounds (4 stitches between them).

Cut 9 strands of grey yarn of about 20 cm length. Insert all strands in the head with the help of tapestry needle (insert the needle into the location of first antenna and draw it out at the location of second antenna). See the picture.

When all 9 strands are inserted, divide them into three parts (each antenna has 3 strands) and make two braids (weave very tightly). Note that braids should be of the same length. Fix the braids and cut off the excess.

6. Sew flowers to the side of the cap. Attach pearl beads to the center of each flower.
7. Sew flower medallion on the appropriate place.
