Head

Hair
- Form a magic ring, then crochet 6 rounds, increasing size per specified instructions.
- By Round 8, secure the form through invisible fasten-offs and leave a tail for sewing.
Wings
- Attach white yarn to leftover loops from the head's closure, and crochet three rounds to create the wings.
- Fasten off and tidy up the ends.
Dress
- Wrap yarn around the card 30 times, then secure by threading yarn through and tying at one end.
- Cut the loops at the opposite end to form a tassel, attaching it to the head by threading and securing yarn through the head's center.
Wings (Completion)
- Fold the wings, join white yarn with a standing single crochet, and work through both layers to form a layered look.
- Continue as patterned, occasionally working through only one layer, until complete.
Finishing
- Position and sew the hair onto the head, adding yarn or twine to create a bow.
- Trim the tassel to the preferred length and attach a loop for hanging.
