I finally finished this amigurumi owl. The pattern is from Crocheted Softies: 18 Adorable Animals from Around the World. This is a big boy, 6 inches wide and about 10 inches tall! As I was connecting all the parts – feet, wings, and especially the head – I started to feel like Dr. Frankenstein. I actually ran out of stuffing and had to go get more because the dude is so big.
I’ve been making so many frogs and monsters for a toy donation drive that I figured I needed to make something a little more snuggly looking. I have a lot of brown and beige cotton yarn in my stash, and this project (Hootie the Owl) is the easiest one in the book. Of course, I had to move up to a bigger box for shipping, and wouldn’t you know it, there is room enough for one more toy. I think I have another one in me before I need to ship these off next week.
