What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.
Amigurumi knitting techniques are very easy. You can find many handcrafts prepared with these techniques on my site. What is Amigurumi for beginners in Amigurumi handwork? How to knit amigurumi?

2 and 3 feathers: sl-st in the next loop of the base, ch 15, sl-st in the fourth loop from the hook, 3 dc, 4 dc, 3 sc, sl-st, sl-st in the same loop of the base

Plumage:
We attach the white thread to the pointed edge of the wing.
1 feather: ch 15, dc in the fourth loop from the hook, 3 dc, 4 dc, 4 sc, sl-st in the warp loop
2-3 feathers: sl-st in the next loop of the base, ch 15, sl-st in the fourth loop from the hook, 3 dc, 4 dc, 4 prs, sl-st in the same loop of the base
4-6 feathers: sl-st in the next loop of the base, ch 12, sl-st in the fourth loop from the hook, 2 dc, 3 dc, 3 prs, sl-st in the same loop of the base
7-9 feathers: sl-st in the next warp st, ch 9, sl-st in the fourth st from the hook, sl-st, 2 dcs, 2 sc, sl-st in the same warp st, cut and hide the thread.
For the wings we use a thread mount. We fasten the wings approximately between 24 and 25 side by side.
We string the wing on the needle behind the front of the canvas, capturing 2 sc.
We introduce the thread at the attachment point of the first wing and bring it out at the attachment point of the second, similarly we string the second wing. And we introduce it back into the body, through the same points.
For strength, you can repeat, pull, tie the edges of the thread under the first wing and hide them inside the toy.

2nd row: 4 sc (4)
3rd row: (sc, inc) × 2 (6)
4 row: 6 sc (6)
5 row: (2 sc, inc) × 2 (8)
6 row: 8 sc (8), cut off and fasten the thread.
We sew starting from the 8th row.
We glue the eyes starting from the 7th row. At the place where the eyes are attached, we make a small horizontal tightening.
Paws:
(6 ch, sl-st in the second loop from the hook, 4 sl-st) × 3, sl-st in the center of the foot, 4 ch, sl-st in the second loop from the hook, 2 sl-st, sl-st in the center of the foot, 3 ch, cut and fasten the thread.
Sew the paws between 7 and 8 next to the side of the tail.

Since the dove is not worth it, it is best to hang it.
