Who the Owl

My littlest one has been liking owls so I decided to make her one for her second birthday. I’ve dubbed it, “Who” and she likes to pull it around in her wagon so I think she likes it.

Who the Owl

Pattern

I used some mystery wool yarn that I got from I don’t know where. It was about a worsted weight and I used an H hook. The finished owl is 5 inches by 5 inches.

Weave tail around those last 8 stitches and pull like a drawstring. The hole should close. Finish off and sew to body.

I crocheted the white rings around the eyes by sl st-ing through the body with some wool yarn. The eyes, nose, and belly feathers were stitched on by hand.
