Every year, the adorable creatures of the Enchanted Woodland meet up for a picnic of grand proportions. Owen the Owl can always be found with his beak buried in books, no matter the occasion. Owen agreed to join the picnic as long as he could bring his books and read some of his favourite chapters to his friends before the gathering was over.

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. Owen the Owl approx. 9cm (3.5in), when using the same yarn/tools as indicated below and working with the “x” single crochet technique (yarn under, yarn over).
