This owl toy is a great beginner project that uses basic stitches with just a bit of seed stitch. The wings and feet of this crochet amigurumi are made first, and then they are crocheted in as the owl is worked from the top down. That means there is no fiddly assembly at the end, and all the parts are attached securely.

FINISHED SIZE About 10” tall.
