Owl belly ruffles:
I had no real pattern for this part except to do a crocodile stitch in the shape of a pyramid (I did two rows of Color A & Color B, and alternated with Color C in between them). I watched a you-tube tutorial on how to do the stitch. I can't remember the exact one I watched but, here is a link to one I found when I did a Google search (By Crochet Geek):
Owl wings:
Cut 2 pieces of fleece for owl wings (width 7 inch & length 8 inches)
Note: I used rotary cutter on the fabric to add holes so, I could attach the wings to the crochet bag. I crochet into the fabric and bag with a Sl St.
Happy Crafting.
