I've been crocheting a lot of animals lately and technically since they are all crocheted in the round they are called Amigurumi. So here goes my Owl Amigurumi pattern. Now this pattern is for the basic body. You can add whatever you will to make this owl YOURS. I added easy hot glued google eyes, little crochet wings, crocheted talons and because I had it at the time a maple leaf nose. (I now add a felt nose)

You'll need some scraps of Each color you will be using as well as an F or G crochet hook.
(In the picture I used Sage Red Heart 4ply acrylic Yarn. )

If you will be crocheting the wings, talons, and eyes you will need more.

For an Owl exactly like that in the picture:
Sage Yarn
Chocolate Yarn
Fiber Fill
Tapestry Needle
Google Eyes
Hot Glue/gun
Felt (nose)

The size depends on your needle size and yarn thickness. In this version I used a size G needle and 4ply acrylic yarn. It is 3 inches High and about about 2.5 inches stuffed.

Gauge is not important for this project.

Talons are crocheted in one piece and then hotglued or sewn to the bottom of the Owl.

Crochet in the Round without joining.(spiral) Mark the end of rounds with a stitch marker to keep track of rows.

This is the end result of my choosing to stay home on New Years Eve. She was born while fireworks went off in the sky and there was no lack of celebration. She is totally unaware that it was not all about her, and I'm not telling her any different. She is a happy little thing. In fact, just this morning she sleepily whispered in my ear, "I am a square dancing doll". What can I say to that but, "Yes, my little friend, you are that."

I made this little ball of love for my sister, it will be one of her gifts. The inspiration came from a famous film : Arthur and the Minimoys.
It's very easy to make and nobody resist to give it hugs!
Have a lot of fun !
Pour mes chères fées du crochet, voici la version française:
http://helpcrochet.free.fr/romeo.html
Joyeux Noël!

*1 ball of fur yarn of your choice but choose a glitter white if possible
*some white coton thread yarn (for stell hook n°4/2mm)to make wings
*some fine yarn (like baby yarn)flesh tone to make feet
*some bulky weight yarn in black to make eyes
*some white stuff
*crochet hook F (4 mm) and stell hook n°6 (1.75 mm)
*1 tapestry needle
*markers of your choice

You'll obtain a ball with a diameter of approx. 4.5 inch

For fur yarn and hook size F:
10 sc x 6 sc-rows : 2 inchs x 2 inchs
For fine yarn and steel hook size 6:
20 sc x 15 sc-roxs : 2 inchs x 2 inchs

The body is worked in round, do not join with a slip stitch at the end of each round, use a marker at the beginning of each round.
The Fur Yarn is more dense on the wrong side of the work, so you'll have to turn down the ball before stuff it.

Body:
1st rnd : with crochet hook F and fur yarn, ch 2, 6 sc in second ch from hook (do not join here and for all rounds)
2nd rnd (inc): 2 sc in each sc => 12 sc
