Assembly
If using safety eyes be sure to attach them in desired location before attaching front and back pieces of owl.
Sew eyes, feet, and wing into desired locations. Align owl pieces so that edges match. With front facing you, single crochet through both pieces in a counter-clockwise direction to attach front to back. Leave opening to stuff (do not overstuff), finish closing, fasten off and weave in ends.
