This cuddly owl has big, flappy wings and a smart, stripy pullover. Make him in any shade of brown, or white if you’d like a snowy owl, then pick two contrasting colours for his pullover, which is crocheted as part of his body.

The pattern is quite straightforward and suitable for beginner/intermediate crocheters.

Yarn requirements:
Use double knitting (dk) weight yarn. Worsted weight should be fine as a substitute, as long as you use the same weight of yarn throughout. Amounts of yarn are calculated for double knitting weight only.

Approx 20g secondary yarn for pullover stripes.
