This pattern is for an owl cushion but its also a toy, it uses texture as well as 3d design to make it very tactile.
The colours can be changed and you will still get the same effect.
you can use any yarn but you will have to change the hook size which of course will change the overall size of your owl.
You will need some stuffing, I use toy stuffing so i could fill it to the size I wanted and I would suggest over filling it as the toy stuffing does flatten down a bit.
