This was one of the first patterns I saved while compiling my list of little things I might make with ten yards of yarn. My sample of Geologee was an appropriately owlly color, so here he is! I love how the stripes ended up with a yellow stripe highlighting the face—pure luck!
I only had enough to make the front panel, so I used wool felt from my stash for the backing. I also used a scrap of black t-shirt to underline the knitted front panel to keep the stuffing from showing. He is stuffed with scrap yarn and his beak is made of pearl cotton, both also from the stash. I did have to purchase the eyes, but they really make the whole thing! They're from 6060 on Etsy; I ordered several pairs of handpainted eyes and they're all just gorgeous.
