My Grama was a huge owl fan...Lately, I've been loving bird designs, too, so I designed these 3 cute owls in Grama's honor :) They work up quickly, and use leftover bits of yarn, making them excellent additions to any project! Choose solid color or two-tone to add a little variety...They even have a branch to sit on (or hang from!) Follow me for the free pattern~ |
