Owl - Free Pattern

  This pattern uses a lot of colour changes, so I recommend it for people comfortable with doing them, or anyone looking for a bit of a challenge. I based my owl off the great horned owl, but feel free to swap colours out to make it your own! I encourage you to look up some of your native owl species for inspiration, as well!
