This adorable pillow is decorative, cuddly and adorably unique. Her wings form a handy pocket, currently holding her removable Owlet. (Also a great place to stash small treasures or maybe a gift card.)

pattern notes ………………………………….
Owlivia and Owlet are knit top down, starting with Judy’s Magic Cast-on, wings are knit from stitches picked up on either side of body. “Ears” are created by gathering the corners of the head. Eyes and beak are knit separately and sewn to body. Body is then stuffed, wings sewn along sides and bottom to form pocket. Both are Kitchener stitch closed.
