Bind off knit-wise.
Then, make a tassel (tassel tutorial here) and attach it to the end of the I-cord (you don’t want the tassel to be too big/thick - it’ll look weird).
If you want, use the tail from your binding off to sew a little emphasis into the owl’s brows/tufts.
The owl may need blocking before you sew on two buttons for eyes. I like using slightly over-sized buttons for these wee owls, I think they look cuter that way.
Et Voila!

Loudmouth knitting Brit living in Amsterdam. Enjoys tea paraphernalia. Firm believer in the 'just try not to be a c*nt' maxim. Trixibellenet on Ravelry. Some sort of Bi-Polar diagnosis. This blog is the result from a combination of a feverish, rising obsession with all things crafty, becoming more angry about stuff, and having a super-good Web Designery fiancé.
