LITTLE SNOW OWL

A co-worker saw me making the barn owl for another co-worker.  She asked if I could make a snow owl similar to the owl that Harry Potter had in the movies.  This was an easy task since a snow owl is simply a barn owl that is all white with some black markings on his wings.  Here is the pattern that I came up with for a snow owl.

F crochet hook
Black Size 10 bedspread crochet cotton

Tapestry needle
