We’ll finish the mask trim first, so we can insert the safety eyes, then continue with the body.

Lower mask trim
In mint yarn, hold the head upside down. Insert your hook into the first front loop of round 7 and continue the next round:
FLO – 6 sl st, (1 sc, 3 hdc in next stitch, 1 sc, 6 sl st) x 2 (28)
Cut yarn, fasten and leave a long tail for sewing. Using the yarn tail, sew a few stitches to attach the curved detail of the eye mask to the head (see image 1).

Top Mask Trimming

Cut the yarn, tie and weave the ends.
Insert s-eyes upside down and insert your hook into the first post stitch between rounds 5 & 6 (see image 2): 24 sl sts
in the safety between rounds 6 & 7, above the stitch in which you have made the 3 hdc’s for the bottom mask trim (see image 1).

Body
Let’s continue with the body.
Rd 15: FLO – (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
Rd 16: 30 sc (30)
Firmly stuff the head and continue stuffing the body as you go.
Locate the middle of the body in the back and mark with a stitch marker, this will be our new starting point for the next round – (I crocheted 2 more stitches to center):
Rd 17: 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc) x 2, 14 sc, (inc, 2 sc) x 2, inc, 1 sc (36)
Chain 7, starting at the 2nd loop from the hook, continue subsequent rounds as we begin to make tail. The first stitch of the next round will be our new starting point, mark with a marker:
Rd 18: 6 sc along the chain, 14 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 14 sc, 6 sc along the other side of the chain (46) Rd 19 – 20: 46 sc (46)

Assembly
• Sew the beak to the head on rounds 7 to 9.
• Sew the legs to the feet on rounds 2 – 3.
• Leave the upper part of the leg unstuffed and sew to the lower body on each side on rounds 26 to 28 , if you do standing Calypso. Sew the CR to the front of the body on rounds 22-24 (about 1-2 stitches apart), if you are doing Calypso in a seated position.
• Sew the wings to the sides of the body on rounds 17 to 23.
• Sew the tail to the end of the body.
• Using black yarn, insert your needle through the back of the head and come out 2 stitches from the eye between rounds 6 and 7. Wrap the yarn around the eye and reinsert your needle into the same stitch. Tuck the line under the safety eyelet by pulling gently. Tie a knot at the back to secure and weave the ends.
• Using yarn or salmon thread, sew a line or two under the eye, 2 stitches long to create a blush.
• Sew the mask tie in the middle of the back of the head between rounds 6 and 7.
• Tie the cape on Calypso with an overhand knot.
