Finally a super easy and free knitting pattern designed by Raynor! I stumbled across this owl from Knitted Toy Box, you can find it HERE. Knitting this little toy was a joy, it was really easy to make that I decided to add extra eye patch, beak and tails. I started knitting the body with 5mm needles then used smaller needles for the rest of the details. If you want to give it a go, I have attached the pattern modifications below:

Eye Patch: (make 2)
CO 16 sts
BO
use a yarn needle, sew eye patch around 12mm black eyes.

Beak:
with yarn needle, wrap around to create nose. Secure yarn.

Tail: (make 3)
CO 4 sts
BO
with yarn needle, join tail side by side and attach to the back

Have fun knitting! ♥
