Navi crochet pattern

March, 2020 feels like sooo long ago. When everything first shut down, my partner lost his job. Aside from keeping my cats entertained, he was pretty bored. I taught him how to crochet so he had a hobby to help pass the time.
He picked up on it pretty quickly & even made a few of my patterns with next to no help. Over a year later, he decided to write a pattern. So, this pattern is actually written by him! It’s easy & beginner friendly - because it’s literally written by a beginner :) I made the Navi below from his pattern.

Assembly:
Pin the large wings to the body. They should sit between rounds 2&3 to between rounds 4&5 on the body. They should sit an equal space of stitches apart.

Fold the wings in half (so they are flat) & sew through two stitches at a time to attach them to the body.

Pin the small wings to the body. They should sit between rounds 7&8 to between rounds 9&10 of the body. They should sit an equal space of stitches apart.

Fold the wings in half (so they are flat) & sew through two stitches at a time.

Tie the tails for the wings into knots & cut them. Use your sewing needle to stuff the knots into the body.

That’s it! Congrats, your Navi is finished!
