 Assembly.
So, let's assemble the hen.
Step 1: Tail. Fold the tail pieces together as shown in the photo. Sew them
together at the edges with cream-colored yarn.

Sew the tail to the chicken as shown in the photo.

Bend the tail back, giving it a rounded shape. Thread the needle with the yarn
through the tail and up, pulling it slightly. Secure the yarn.

Step 2: Sew beads to the chicken's head. Between the 6th and 7th rounds of the
head from the top - sew eyes, the distance between them is 10 sc.
Step 3: Sew the beak to the front of the head, level with the eyes, as shown in the
photo.

Step 4: Sew the wattle under the beak. Attach only from the top, as shown in the
photo.

Step 5: Sew the comb. Step back 3 rounds up from the beak and start sewing on
the beak.
Step 6: Wings. To get such a beautiful wings, as in the photo, you need to sew
together nine parts of different sizes and colors for each side. You will need a
needle and yarn.
Pay attention to the photo. First, sew three parts, then attach the next three and
again three.

The remaining nine parts need to be sewn symmetrically, as in the photo.

Sew the wings to the chicken as shown in the photo. You can glue the wings on. I
sewed them on, so the instructions recommend sewing them on.
Sew or glue white centers to each feather, as shown in the photo.

Make branches with white yarn along the outline of the wings in random order.
Pay attention to the photo. Do not cut the yarn, but continue with the next step.

Make stripes from each spot to the beginning of the feathers. You will need white
yarn and a needle. Pay attention to the photo.
Step 7: Use white yarn to make the whites of the eyes, as shown in the photo.

Step 8: Spotted berries. At the ends of each twig, make a berry. Work with pink
yarn. To do this, first bring the needle with yarn to the place where the berry
should be. Wind the yarn around the needle 4 times, do not tighten it too much.
Pull the needle through the yarn wound on it. Pull it slightly so that the yarn
rings move to the base. Insert the needle into the original place, or nearby, as
close as possible. Bring the needle out at the place of the next berry and repeat
all the steps.
Use green and yellow yarn to make berries around the wings, as shown in the
photo.
