These cute and cuddly owls make a great quick-and-easy project just about everyone will cherish. All it takes is a sock, general sewing supplies, and a few odds and ends to make your very own owl. The best part is that no two owls ever come out exactly the same, so you’ll want to make an entire flock of the softies just to see all the different characters you can come up with. This is just one of the projects from new Stash Books release Socks Appeal by Brenna Maloney.
