Step 1: Creating a Magic Circle

To begin making the bird, you will need a hook and some yarn. Choose a hook size that suits your desired bird size. Start by creating a magic circle by wrapping the yarn around your finger and inserting the hook through the circle. Pull the yarn through and chain two more stitches. This will give you three chains coming out of the magic circle.

Step 2: Adding Double Crochet Stitches

Next, you will work on adding double crochet stitches into the magic circle. Begin by doing five double crochet stitches into the circle. Wrap the yarn around the hook, insert it into the circle, and pull the yarn through. Repeat this process four more times. This will create a total of five double crochet stitches.

Step 3: Building the Tail

After completing the double crochet stitches, chain three stitches. This will form the base of the tail. Turn the work over and do a double crochet into the same stitch that you did the three chains on. Then, increase by doing two double crochets in each of the double crochet stitches from the previous row. Continue this pattern until you reach the end, and put the last two double crochets into the chain three.

Step 4: Creating the Head

Once the tail is complete, chain three and turn the work over. Do a double crochet into the same stitch as the three chains. Then, alternate between one double crochet and two double crochets in each stitch. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end, and put one double crochet into the chain-3. This will begin forming the head of the bird.

Step 5: Making the Beak

To create the beak of the bird, chain three and slip stitch into the first chain. Then, do a treble crochet in the next chain and a double crochet in the following chain. Continue with a half double crochet and a single crochet. Finally, slip stitch into the next chain to finish off the beak.
