crochet cute owl pattern

Easy and free crochet owl pattern

Hello friends!

This is the written pattern for this cute little owl. It’s very easy to make. You can make it in different colors with different yarn. I made it for Christmas tree. You can also make a keychain.

The pattern is written in U.S. terms.

Here is a list of the abbreviations used:

Mr – Magic Ring

Ch- Chain

Sc- Single Crochet

Inc- Increase (2 sc in next sc)

Dec- Decrease (single crochet next two stitches together)

sl st - slip stitch

Fo- Fasten Off

I used pink, orange, blue, black and white super fine Acrylic Yarn and 2 mm crochet hook size, but you can use any weight with the appropriate hook size, gauge is not important. You will also need stuffing, needle and scissors.

Dimension of finished toy: 5-6 cm

The Magic Ring (or Adjustable Ring) is used when crocheting in rounds, and should be used for Amigurumi projects. The advantages of using the Magic Ring, is that once tightened, it leaves no hole in the center of your work. It replaces the step of "Ch 2 and single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook", which is the first step in many crochet projects.

Finishing:

Stuff your owl.

Slip orange yarn to the corner of the head, sew parts together.

Take some orange and blue yarn (or any colors you like), fold into 2. 

Find the middle of your bunch and insert your hook through several stitches in the corner of your owls head. 

Pull through a loop and feed the yarn through this and pull tight. Repeat at the other corner. Trim the yarn to make his tufts.
