Rnd. 4: (4sc, inc) x 3 [18]
Rnd. 5: (5sc, inc) x 3 [21]
Rnd. 6 to 9: sc all around [21] = 4 rounds
Cut the yarn leaving a piece to close the space between them.
Make the second wing:
Repeat from Rnd. 1 to 9. Do not cut the yarn.
To join the two wings we will continue crocheting in the first stitch of the first wing. Mark the first stitch of Rnd. 10 to know where the next round starts.
Rnd. 10: 21sc on first wing + 21sc on second wing [42]
Rnd. 11 to 14: sc all around [42] = 4 rounds
