This little owl perches right on your book page, peeking out with huge round eyes that seem to ask when you're coming back to finish the chapter. Part bookmark, part tiny companion for your reading adventures.

The finished owl has an almost comical seriousness about her. Those oversized eyes take up most of her face, giving her that wise-but-slightly-startled look owls do so well. She's made in earthy browns and creams with a touch of dark grey, so she'll match pretty much any book cover or reading nook. If you know someone who always loses their place in books (or claims they'll 'just read one more chapter' at midnight), this owl makes a thoughtful gift. She works for birthdays, teacher appreciation, book club exchanges, or just because. Kids love her too, especially reluctant readers who might need a friendly face waiting on page 47. The flat design means she won't damage book spines or add bulk. She simply slips between pages with her head poking out at the top, quietly judging your reading pace.

Bookmark details matter. One missed row changes the shape and the owl's proportions. The row counter keeps you honest, tracking each round so the owl's face and body come out just right.
