I always loved making little owlies for kids toys or decorations. Here’s a REALLY big one that’s more like a pillow. I used my fingers to make the stitches, but you could use a jumbo crochet hook if you wanted (size U/25 mm).

I stuffed my owl with polyester fiberfill, but you could use just about anything soft.

You will need a few other materials to make the face:
• Small piece of white or beige felt for the eyes
• Black and orange yarn pieces for the eyes and mouth
(I used a small piece of turmeric Tough Love with the bottom snipped into a V for the beak and a black piece split down the middle to make 2 skinny pieces for the eyes. Tough Love Tiny yarn would work for this as well.)
• Fabric glue or needle and thread to attach the eyes/mouth
