I wanted to print off the directions to this owl to make at a later date but was unable to. I guess I won't be making this owl any time soon. (

Oh how cute is this owl and they are on a list of many animals I like. I do not just like one but I have got to make one if not more of these owls.This has a downloadable free pattern and so easy to make. I would love to make one in a bigger size and you can print larger. Super cute.
