About this pattern

A fluffy baby owl with huge golden eyes, soft cream and brown feathers and a curious little face. Its plush, toy-like look comes from the cute animal collection in our app, and it is a favorite with stitchers who love sweet nursery art. The feathers are built from close shades of beige and brown, so they look soft and fuzzy when finished. Work the eyes first — they bring the owl to life — then the body and the warm, plain background. A wonderful framed gift for a new baby. On 14 count Aida the finished owl is about 5.7 × 7.6 in (15 × 19 cm). Owls are often linked with wisdom, so it also makes a sweet graduation or back-to-school gift. Add the child's name and birth date below in backstitch to turn it into a birth announcement.
