I knit everything on double pointed needles. The pattern for the wings and for the body are meant to be knit in the round.

Good luck!

Did you use the dpn for making only the body or the wings are also made with dpn?

I knit the body with a regular needles and it's not bad but wait to big but the wing didn't come out good. I've never use dpn so I have to try.

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern!

The body is knit in the round so you can stuff the body without having to make a seam up the side. You could knit the body, converting the K's to P's on every other round, and then stitch up the bottom at the end.

I knit the wings in the round so they would be more substantial, and to eliminate the wrong side/right side. (They are essentially double-knit without using that

I was going to do this pattern but I am just a beginner and I don't understand why you need to have double pointed needles. I was doing fine until I noticed the 'knit in the round' crap.

I just used this pattern to make a gift for my cousin's new baby, and I love it!(Hopefully she will too, lol) I used a fluffy eyelash novelty yarn, so I didn't need to stuff it, it kind of stuffed itself. :P
Thanks so much!

Join to knit in the round means that you're knitting a circular rather than flat piece. This project is small enough that you would not want to use round (or circular) needles, you would use 4-5 double pointed needles to create the "tube".
