Minerva is designed to be your own, personal owl companion. She is inspired by the little owl and measures about 9.5 inches, just as her real life counterpart.

You could however up or down scale her by using a different yarn weight and hook size.

This pattern is suitable for crocheters with some amigurumi experience, as well as seasoned amigurumi enthusiasts.

The head and body are crocheted in one go. The tail feathers are crocheted on.
The feathers of the wings are crocheted on, as well as the toes and talons on the legs.
The beak and three different parts for the face (crocheted with faux fur yarn) are sewn on, as well as the wings and the legs.

I hope you'll enjoy crocheting her as much as I did.
