Our super-cuddly owl cushion is bursting with character and charm. Made from layers of circles, a little bit of clever embroidery completes his personality. Plus, you only need to crochet one side - the reverse is fabric, making it a quick project. If you want to crochet the back though, all you need to do is repeat the body pattern (but don't forget to get extra yarn).
