Weave the 6 remaining stitches together and weave in the end.

Now, you attach the wings to the plane. Sew the 3 tail wings on the aeroplane about 1.5cm from the end of the plane - one on each side and one on the top.

The two large wings are sewn on about 2.5cm from the front of the plane, about where the first round of decreases is made.

The shape of the aeroplane makes the wings sit a little crooked at the back - it makes them get just the right shape.

Weave in all ends.
