Free PDF Owl Embroidery Pattern for beginners

Sometimes the simplest of things are the most fun. This mini owl embroidery pattern was just a quick and simple drawing that I had in my head.

This mini owl embroidery pattern should take you about a half hour for any beginner to complete, which makes it perfect for journal embroidery or teaching young children the basics.

This entire pattern is all simple back stitching, but you can make it as detailed as you want with embellishments or fancier stitches.
