6. rnd: Sc in each sc around. (28)
7. rnd: Sc in each sc around. (28)

Cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch but do not fasten off yet.

Wing (make 2):
 Chain 2, 3 sc in second chain from the hook (or you can also make this with 3 sc into magic loop)
 Work at first only back loops of the stitches. Chain 3, sl st into first sc, [ch 2, sl st into next st] x 2, ch 3.
 Now work on opposite side of the stitches; sl st into next sc, [ch 2, sl st into next sc] x 2.
Assembly:
 Cut two circles from the felt and cut also small slits into those. Put safety eyes through the slits. Put little
bit glue behind the felt circles and insert eyes between rounds 9 and 10.
 Stuff the owl. Sew the hole and with same yarn attach the keychain.
 Next sew the wings to the owl.
 With orange yarn embroider peak.
 Fasten off rest of the yarns.
Now your owl is ready. Easy I’d say :)
