Free Crochet Masterclass: Fluffy Owl by Nika Razumovskaya (@nika.r_)
In this masterclass, you will learn how to crochet a fluffy owl using fantasy yarn. For this amigurumi project, it’s recommended to use plush yarn with long fluffy fibers. The author used Pukka Tuffy yarn for the body of the owl. For the eyes, beak, and feet, use standard plush yarn such as Himalaya Dolphin Baby or YarnArt Dolce.
