Chain 1 and sc around the entire piece.

Feet

Don’t stuff the toes or feet, sew to close.
Sew or stick the feet under the body (see photo). This will also give more stability to the owl.
Ears And Feathers
The ears are made in fuchsia pink by making little tassels on top op the head.
The easiest way to do this is by cutting some yarn stings and looping them in under a stitch on the head. You can then finish the tassels by knotting a smaller piece of yarn around it.
Embroider the little feathers on the belly in fuchsia pink.
Sew a pink fuchsia wood flower next to the owl’s left ear.
And finally add a wooden button with the word “handmade” on the back.
Congratulations! You’ve finished your cute amigurumi owl!
