The knitting process is very simple, the instruction is step by step, so you need to follow it exactly. You need to perform according to the scheme, using rotary rows or circular. In each case, its own technique is used, which is in the scheme.

Knitting front and back

Beak

To make a beak, you need to start knitting near one of the sewn eyes, and then do the same near the second eye. As a result, you should get a beak in the form of a triangle. And its value will depend on the number of loops that are recruited.

Eyes and paws

The eyes should be two large circles, which must be tied separately, and then simply sewn on. Along the edge of the circle, you need to sew them to the owl's head. This must be done very carefully so that the seams are not visible. You can do this step even before filling with filler, but then it will not be entirely clear whether they will look beautiful. Therefore, it is best to sew on the eyes when everything is almost ready. When the eyes have already been sewn in a circle, you still need to make pupils or cilia, and thus sew them inside too.

According to the scheme, the legs of an owl are made, for which you need to take a different color, namely, gray or brown. In the course of knitting, the product is filled with filler.

Putting all parts into one

When almost everything is connected, you need to gradually fill all the compartments with filler, and then completely sew up all the holes.Then the eyes are sewn and the "Owl" is ready.
