Owls seem to be popular these days and I’m not complaining! I love seeing cute little owls everywhere. I even decorated little brother’s room in an owl theme. So it was time to make some cute little crochet owls. These were actually made for Adrianne and her daughter Raya from Happy Hour Projects (Adrianne, Hope you guys like them!). Fortunately I wrote down the pattern as I went along so I could share it with all of you :o)













Daddy Owl Pattern:

Vanna’s Choice Yarn (Barely)

Loops and Threads Impeccibale Yarn (Aqua)

Black buttons (or safety eyes) for eyes





Hook Size: G (4.0)

Stuff, sew top edges together





When you press the top edges together, it naturally creates a slight bend that forms the owl ears. Sew them together using a whipstitch. You can make two whipstitches in both ends to create more of an ear. See pictures:

Work in rounds

Magic ring, chain 1

Round 2: 2 SC in each (12 SC)

Round 3: 2 SC, SC, around (18 SC)

Round 4-9: Sc around

Round 10: SC Decrease, SC, around





Don’t stuff, sew shut and sew onto sides of body where the two colors meet. I always like to try to cover up the area where I changed colors.





You will want to sew on the bottom part of the wing as well. I did this by weaving my yarn through the wing and out the bottom of the wing, then sew the bottom of the wing onto the body and weave in ends.

Magic ring, chain 1

Update 9/14/12: I made another set of these and found that it is easier to sew on the eyes and nose before stuffing it. Also, I recommend using safety eyes instead of buttons. They look better and are easier to attach (and safer too!).
