This came about via a Ravelry Nerdopolis challenge to make something cute - kawaii.

It uses black and white (for the eyes) and 3 additional
colors (2 for the main part and 1 for the beak).

The main part of the cozy is knit in st st from the bottom up. The top is in rev st st with st st spokes.

The eyes are the hardest part. They are knit from the center out with the center section bound off after the first round and then the outer section started by picking up sts from the bind off. Increases are yo increases knitted tbl in the next rnd.

Pom pom directions are adapted from this video:
