A round, fluffy little owl in Santa’s outfit: a snowy-white face of eyelash yarn, big eyes, a yellow beak, a red body, orange feet and a long red Santa hat with a fluffy trim and pompom. About 13 cm tall – sit him on a shelf, under the tree or on the mantelpiece, or give him as a cosy Christmas gift.

An easy crochet pattern by Yulia Ogol with step-by-step instructions and photos. The beak can be made from polymer clay, crocheted or ready-made.
