Textured Feathers

Using rich burgundy yarn, create the bobble stitches for the textured feathers:

• Work bobble stitches in a grid pattern across the body. To make a bobble stitch:
1. Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch.
2. Yarn over and pull through (3 loops on hook).
3. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops (2 loops remaining).
4. Repeat the above steps 4 times in the same stitch (you will have 5 loops on your hook).
5. Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.

Finishing Touches

Using embroidery thread, attach the eyes and beak to the owl. You can create large, expressive eyes in a lighter shade for contrast and a small beak in a matching hue.

Assembly

Carefully sew the wings to the sides of the body. Embroider any additional details as desired to enhance the rustic charm of your owl.
