Make a Large Pocket Phoenix to glide and flap atop an adult-sized hand with optional finger loops/rings on the underside of the bird and/or to use as a pocket square! You can also use different yarns and hooks to make plushies, snugglers, and bookmarks!

These fierce phoenixes are constructed with a modified granny square body, amigurumi head, and an optional ring under the head to slip onto a finger.

(See the companion pattern “Small Pocket Phoenix” listing to make a small/child-sized gliding phoenix.)
