Assembling

Then embroider the bells on the collar with yellow yarn.
Now join your two “owl” parts wrong sides together. Try to line up them up so they match. You are going to sc around the outside of them to attach them and you want to them to be perfectly lined up. Stick your hook through both sides and pull the yarn through (like pictured below) and sc with the green color yarn.
Sc each stitch of both sides around. Make 2 sc on the corners of owl’s ears and on the bottom corners.
After sc around the head let’s stuff the ears and upper part of the head. Continue sc around. But leave a hole to stuff the owl with toy filling firmly. And then finish to join parts. Break yarn and fasten off.
Sew the hat with red color yarn and then sew the end of the hat to the head with yellow color yarn as you can see at the picture below.
Your owl is ready!
