Notes and Special Tips

1. Stitch Markers: Use a stitch marker to track the start of each round, as this is an amigurumi worked in continuous spirals.
2. Glue Application: Use Fabri-tac (or similar fabric glue) to attach the black felt eyes to the head securely. Let the glue dry fully before handling the amigurumi.
3. Customization Ideas:
   • Use a smaller hook size for tighter stitches and a more petite bald eagle.
   • Swap colors to create a fantasy or cartoon-style bird that fits your preferences.
4. Assembly Help: Pinning components, like wings and feet, before sewing ensures proper placement.
