Wings:
Make 2
Ch 15
Row 1: Sl st into 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next 6 ch, sk next ch, hdc in next 5 ch. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 10 sts. Ch 1, turn.

Fasten off, leaving a tail about 8 inches long. Work the yarn through to the end of the wing and use it to sew this end of the wing to the body.
Feet:
Make 2
Ch 15, sl st all the way to the end of ch, ch 15 more then sl st all the way to the end of ch.
Fasten off and leave tail for sewing to bottom of body.
So what I did was placed the pencil (lollipops are a good idea too!) on the feet then one by one, fold the end of the foot over the pencil so that it meets the other side of the foot. Stitch this down. Do this for all four pieces of the feet.
That's it! It works up really quick and he/she is cute in any color you decide to make.
Enjoy!
