The Owl Free Crochet Pattern

I continue introducing the characters of the book about Winnie the Pooh. Today I present my Owl.

It is made of cotton yarn (as always - acrylic yarn is good too) and has a yellow hat and a green dress with a white collar.

See the other crochet patterns for toys on my e-bay page.
