About this pattern
Scholar is a wise little owl dressed for graduation day: a brown body with a cream belly, an orange beak and feet, and a black mortarboard with a gold tassel. Owls stand for wisdom, which makes him a thoughtful gift for a graduate, from kindergarten to college. He is a little over 4 inches tall and sits on a desk or a bookshelf.
Make one for a little one, a friend or yourself. You may also sell the toys you crochet from this pattern.
