You can fi nd out more about the game -- including how to download a copy for your mobile device -- on their Facebook page.

For the project shown in the photographs, I used Red Hear Classic Yarn.

Note: When determining whether to use buttons or other small embellishments, keep in mind

the age of the intended recipient. Doll eyes and other decorations may pose a choking hazard for children under three. A safer alternative for the very young is to sew eyes and any other decorations using embroidery thread or yarn.The eyes are made in circular rounds that are joined with a slip stitch (SL) to make an even transition. Use white yarn.Round 1: CH 2. 6 SC in second chain from hook. Join with SL to fi rst SC. CH 1.Round 2: 2 SC in each ST around. Join with SL to fi rst SC. FO, leaving a tail for sewing.

Figure 1: Eyes

The belly patch goes back to a traditional amigurumi stitch, working in spirals to get the desired circle size. You may need a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds. Use white yarn.Round 1: CH 2. 6 SC in second chain from hook. Place stitch marker in the last SC to mark the end of the round.Round 2: 2 SC in each ST around (12 SC). MM.

Round 3: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in next. Repeat from * around (18 SC). MM.

Round 4: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next two STS. Repeat from * around (24 SC). MM.

Round 5: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next three STS. Repeat from * around (30 SC). MM.

Figure 2: Belly Patch

Round 6: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next four STS. Repeat from * around (36 SC). FO, leaving a tail for sewing.Again, the beak uses a traditional amigurumi spiral. Use orange yarn and a stitch marker, if needed.

Round 1: CH 2. 6 SC in second chain from hook. Place stitch marker in the last SC to mark the end of the round.Round 2: SC in each ST around (6 SC). MM.

Round 3: *Work 2 SC in fi rst ST, SC in each of the next two STS. Repeat once from * (8 SC). MM.

Round 4: *Work 2 SC in fi rst ST, SC in each of the next three STS. Repeat once from * (10 SC). MM.

Rounds 5-6: SC in each ST around (10 SC). MM.

Round 7: *Work 2 SC in fi rst ST, SC in each of the next four STS. Repeat once from * (12 SC). FO and leave a tail for sewing.

Figure 3: Beak

The small feather is one of two chunky feathers on the cardinal’s head. Use red yarn and a stitch marker, if needed.

Round 1: CH 2. 6 SC in second chain from hook. Place stitch marker in the last SC to mark the end of the round.Rounds 2-4: SC in each ST around (6 SC). MM.

Round 5: *DECR across fi rst two STS, SC in next. Repeat from * once more (4 SC). MM.

Round 6: SC in each ST around (4 SC). FO, leaving a tail for sewing.

Figure 4: Feathers

The large feather is one of two chunky feathers on the cardinal’s head (see Figure 4). Use red yarn and a stitch marker, if needed.

Round 1: CH 2. 8 SC in second chain from hook. Place stitch marker in the last SC to mark the end of the round.

Rounds 2-5: SC in each ST around (8 SC). MM.

Round 6: *DECR across fi rst two STS, SC in each of the next two STS. Repeat from * once more (6 SC). MM.

Round 7: SC in each ST around (6 SC). MM.

Round 8: *DECR across fi rst two STS, SC in next. Repeat from * once more (4 SC). FO, leaving a tail for sewing.

The eye brows are made from afew simple rows of single crochet stitches. The trick to making them look nice is weaving in your ends neatly!

Row 1: CH 8. SC in second ST from hook and in each across (7 SC). CH 1 and turn.

Row 2: SC in each ST across (7 SC). CH 1 and turn.

Row 3: SC in each of the fi rst four STS. FO, leaving a tail for sewing.

Note: Using the tail you left for sewing, weave the yarn in and out of the stitches toward the point (the end of row 1). See Figure 5.

Figure 6: Belly patch, eyes and beak attached

The cardinal’s body is a little fl atter on the bottom to allow it to sit better. It is made in a spiral with red yarn.

Round 1: CH 2. 6 SC in second chain from hook. Place stitch marker in the last SC to mark the end of the round.

Round 2: 2 SC in each ST around (12 SC). MM.

Round 3: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in next. Repeat from * around (18 SC). MM.

Round 4: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next two STS. Repeat from * around (24 SC). MM.Round 5: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next three STS. Repeat from * around (30 SC). MM.Round 6: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next four STS. Repeat from * around (36 SC). MM.Round 7: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next fi ve STS. Repeat from * around (42 SC). MM.Round 8: *2 SC in fi rst SC, 1 SC in each of next six STS. Repeat from * around (48 SC). MM.Rounds 9-16: SC in each ST around (48 SC). MM.

Round 17: *DECR across fi rst two STS. SC in each of the next six STS. Repeat from * around (42 SC). MM.

Rounds 18-19: SC in each ST around (42 SC). MM.

Note: Stop at this point to work on preliminary assembly. You do not have to fi nish off or cut the yarn, but be careful while sewing so as not to sew your working yarn to the inside of the cardinal. That might make him mad... and we wouldn’t want that now, would we?

1. Turn the body upside down and identify the center. Using the tail left over from fi nishing off the belly patch, begin stitching the white belly to the cardinal. See Figure 6 for reference.2. Use the beak to help measure the distance between the belly patch and the eyes. Just hold the beak above the center of the belly patch — where the top of the beack falls is also where you will put the bottom of the eye white.3. Attach the eyes. If using plastic safety eyes, push the shaft through both the white crocheted piece and the red portion of the body. Sew around the outside of the eyes witht he tail left over from crocheting.

4. Attach the beak using the tail left over from crocheting. Your partially-fi nished not-so-angry-bird should look like the bird in Figure 7.5. Continue with Part 9.

Round 20: *DECR across fi rst two STS. SC in each of the next fi ve STS. Repeat from * around (36 SC). MM.Round 21: SC in each ST around (36 SC). MM.

Round 22: *DECR across fi rst two STS. SC in each of the next four STS. Repeat from * around (30 SC). MM.

Note: Stop here and sew the eye brows on. See Figure 8 for placement.

Note: You can also stuff your bird now (LOL... get it? Stuff? ... the bird? I crack me up!)

I used surplus beads to give my bird a little heft (see Figure 9) but you could use beans or just plain fl uff if you want a softer bird.

Round 23: *DECR across fi rst two STS. SC in each of the next three STS. Repeat from * around (24 SC). MM.

Round 24: *DECR across fi rst two STS. SC in each of the next two STS. Repeat from * around (18 SC). MM.

Round 25: *DECR across fi rst two STS. SC in next ST. Repeat from * around (12 SC). MM.

Round 26: DECR around (6 SC). FO, leaving tail to gather remaining STS.

1. Using the tail left over from round 26, gather the

remaining stitches and close up the hole in your bird’s head.2. Attach your two feathers as shown in Figure 10 and...
