are not cutting the thread yet.
We turn the canvas inside out, because it's more fluffy there (optional) and set aside for the time being.
🌸Stage 2. Feet.
We take a wire with a diameter of 2 mm and a length of about 60 cm and make the workpiece legs according to the scheme (see photo 1). Then we smear the finger with glue and tightly wrap with brown (or black) threads. Thus we wind all 4 fingers and the leg itself to a height of about 6 to 7 cm, fix the ends of the thread with glue. The second leg is doing the same.
We put the finished legs into the knitted body in the first row of knitting from the bottom, retreating from the edges of 2 cm. We adjust the legs to the desired height, it can be from 3 to 6 cm, and fix the body inside with a tape, winding it with a thick layer on the leg (see ). We twist the wire from the legs together, isolate it. After that we fill the body with filler. We connect the upper edges of the calf CC (see photo), we fix the thread, cut it.
🌸Stage 3. Wings and tail.

On top of the felt part of the eyes we glue the false eyelashes.
Ready eyes trying on owl head, placing them in the 17th row from the top row of knitting. The distance between the eyes can be made whatever you like best. Glue the eyes with transparent super glue to the head. Make a tint around the eyes with brown dry pastel (optional).
BEAK.
Option 1. Polymer clay.
We make a beak from polymer clay of yellow, orange or brown color. I got a beak in the form of an equilateral triangle with sides of about 1 cm. You can make a beak of any size at will.
