Quick and Easy Owl Ball

 

I made those owls with cotton yarn and 3 mm hook. They are about 5-6 cm tall (about 2 inches). I wanted something quick and easy and this is my version of the popular owl look. They are worked from top down, you can see this in the pictures below. I am still waiting my safety eyes to be delivered, so I had to sew some. 

Supplies: 
You will need yarn, crochet hook, stuffing, darning needle and scissors of course :)
