I just love owls. Who doesn’t? I designed this little amigurumi beanie Owl for my son’s nursery. I decided to stuff it with bean bag beans (details below), but it could be stuffed with regular batting or any other stuffing you want! I’ve put quite detailed assembly instructions in the pattern, as I find that the proper assembly is really what makes an amigurumi critter look great!
