I adore the detail on the face and raw edges on the feathers. The pattern is in PDF format and the steps are clear and easy to follow. Apart from the usual materials required to make a softie, you will also need wire for the feet. This project is suitable for softie-makers with experience beyond the Beginner level.

Oh-Oh the Owl by One Red Robin

Here’s a softie pattern freebie that I posted up on my own blog a few months ago. Oh-Oh the Owl cushion/softie is very easy to put together and if you are making this for a baby, you could substitute the button eyes with felt, and the felt feathers on the front with looped ribbons or crinkly cellophane encased in fabric.

The free instructions and template are in downloadable pdf format and are easy to follow. The duck’s body can be made from any fabric and I think it would look especially cute in sherpa fleece or a fuzzy chenille.
