Assembly
Insert the safety eyes between rounds 20 and 21, with an interspace of 8 stitches. To make the owl stand, you can cut a circle out of cardboard, and insert it on the bottom. Or then sew on the ring for the keychain. Stuff the body with fiberfill.
For the ear brushes, cut off two threads of each color 8 cm long. Make a knot in the middle. Sew the two halves of the owl’s head by inserting brushes along the edges with knots inward (example photo on the next page). Sew the eyes and wings to the body. Embroider the beak.
