This little guy was made as a freebie on my blog in 2009. I tried making this one with a bit of a heart shape. If you shop at Target* you would have seen that little pink Owl pillow with similar Pink and Red colors. This was my inspiration for this little guy.

Materials: G hook, Redheart Red (1 small skein), Tapestry needle, Fiber fill stuffing, 2 safety eyes, white yarn (scraps)

Around 5 inches High

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.
