My owl is over-stuffed, upside-down and incorrect - but I still like him! I totally spaced out the directions (don’t try to knit something new when you’re extremely tired…). Just winged it. Would change the directions to read like “knit across, pick up 10 stitches along side, knit 10 from back, pick up 10 stitches along other side”. I ended up with 21 stitches instead of 40. Stuffed with pellet beads in a pantyhose stocking… he can stand on his own - yay!
