With wrong sides facing, continue to sl st Side 1 to Side 2 leaving a small opening to lightly stuff the wing with a small amount of stuffing. Continue to sl st together. Finish off leaving a 12" tail for sewing. Using the tail you finished with and a yarn needle, sew the flat edge of the wing to the rocket between Rnds 8 and 16. Repeat for the other two wings.

Sew blasters to bottom of the rocket.

Here is a new crochet pattern that will be in the shop soon! My son started talking like a pirate the moment that he put the hat on. Just too cute :) The pattern includes instructions for a pirate hat, eye patch, gold coins, a pouch to put them in, a treasure map and a parrot.
