Materials
This pattern can be made using any yarn you wish. Choose a hook size
that matches the yarn. If you want to increase or decrease the size
of the owl, use the correct yarn type for your hook.
It is important to make tight stitches. For a nice and satisfactory
result make sure you use a smaller hook than usually recommended
for your yarn. This way you will get a fabric tight enough to avoid
small stretching gaps between your stitches once stuffed, and so the
filling doesn’t pop out later.
For stuffing, they are many sorts of stuffing materials and the choice
is yours. For best results, I recommend stuffing your project firmly.
Don’t hesitate to overstuff as long as the yarn you are using allows it.

Note
Sew the wings and the legs to the owl (see photos for the position of
the wings, legs and tail), in this case the owl is looking right, if you
wish to have your owl looking left, sew the wings, legs and tail in the
opposite direction. The wings needs to be securely attached to the
body. Congratulations your owl is finished!!
