Picture


I work this owl in one continuous spiral.  Use a stitch market to mark each round end.

Terms used:
sc=single crochet
hdc= half double crochet
dc=double crochet
trc=triple crochet
sc-dec= single crochet decrease done over 2 stitches
slp st= slip stitch
FO= finish off, fasten off


Eye Patch (make 2)

With white, ch 2
1)     6 sc in 2nd ch from hook  (6 sc)
2)  2 sc in each sc around  (12 sc)
 3)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat around (18 sc)
FO

Owl
Starting at bottom of owl and working your way up,
Ch 2
1)  6 sc in 2nd ch from hook  (6 sc)
2)  2 sc in each sc around  (12 sc)
3)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat around (18 sc)
4)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 2 sc) repeat around (24 sc)
5)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around (30 sc)
6)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around (36 sc)
(7-13)  sc in each sc around
14)  (sc-dec, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around  (30 sc)
15)  sc in each sc around
16)  (sc-dec, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around (24sc)
17)  sc in each sc around
Forming the ears,
18)   (hdc in first sc, dc in next, trc in each of next 2 sc, dc in next, hdc in next sc, sc in each of next 6 sc) repeat this sequence once more
FO
If using safety eyes, or embroidering eyeballs in, sew eye patches on now and insert safety eyes, or embroider eyes now.

I place eye patches starting at row 15 and working down.

Your 2 trc’s will form the sides of the owl, so find your center and place patches accordingly.

Stuff owl and pinch top together lining up the 2 trc at each end.  You now sew the 2 trc’s together, then the 2 dc, 2 hdc, onto the sc.  You are sewing the front and back together to form little ears in each corner.

Beak

With orange
Ch 2
1)6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
2-3)  sc in each stitch around
FO leaving longer tail for sewing
Sew beak right under eyes

Wing  (make 2)
With owl color, ch 5
1)  2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of next 2 chs, 3 sc in last ch from hook.  Working on underside of ch, sc in next 2 chs, (these will be in the bottom of the previous 2 sc’s you made) sc in last ch (this is the first ch you 2 sc’d in)
You will now have what looks like an oval made up of 10 scs

2)  2 sc in each of the next 2 sc’s, sc in each of the next scs,  2 sc in next sc (this is the bottom tip of your wing)  sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc  You should now have 14 sc.

3)  2 sc in each of the next 3 sc, sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next 2 sc (again, this is the bottom wing tip)  Sc in next 4  sc, 2 sc in last sc. Slp stch to next sc  (20 sc)

FO leaving long tail for sewing.

Sew each wing to the side of your owl, you are done!

This pattern has not been tested.  I wrote it up quickly.  Please notify me of any mistakes so I can fix them.  Thanks!!

Thanks for the cute pattern. I've enjoyed making this. The only problem I had with pattern is that in the second line of the wing pattern it states "single crochet in the next stitches". I wasnt sure how many stitches. I used 3 and it seemed to work ok. Thanks again. Your work is precious!
