*Below, I put an N as the number of st moved in case the wings are not in the sides, which means your starting st has moved. Following the instructions below, subtract N to get the number of scs you need to make before crocheting the wings. Note: You don’t need to subtract anything if you’re starting st is only slightly to the left like in the photo. I marked a line so you can see where my starting sts are.

R40: (SC 18 – N), together with left wing, SC 5), (SC 7 – N). (30)

Crocheting the legs of the SHORTS

• Using a yarn needle, insert a red ribbon through R2 of the SHORTS. Tie a ribbon in the middle front.
• To prevent the ends from fraying, you can apply nail polish or apply heat (use a lighter) to melt the fibers together.
• To keep the ribbon in place, sew the back on to the SHORTS.
