Notes:
 Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round.
 A yarn with no stretch is best, I prefer cotton or cotton blend.
 For this pattern, the following yarns were used:
o PLUM = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 444 Raspberry Pink
o WHITE = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 401 Paper White
o BLUSH = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 454 Blush Pink
o PINK = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 453 Ballet Pink
o BLACK = Scheepjes Catona in “110 Jet Black”
 I crochet loosely and use a 2.75-3.00mm hook with 8ply yarn. Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
 The yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Ozzi the Owl is approximately 11cm tall (4 inches).
 I have embroidered the eyes for this pattern. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
