  • The body is worked in continuous rounds (as a spiral). Use a stitch marker if needed.
  • Remember to stuff as you crochet.

With a 2.75 mm crochet and yarn in the light brown yarn OR with a 4.5 mm and in the light brown yarn:

    • Round 1: start 6 sc in a magic ring. (6) – NB: if you work with plush yarn: ch2; make 6 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. (6)
    • Round 2: [6 inc]. (12)
    • Round 3: [1 inc in the next st, 1 sc]x6. (18)
    • Rounds 4-7: [1 sc in all st]. (18)
    • Rounds 8-10: keep working with the light brown as follows: 1 sc in the next 5 st. Change for the white and work as follows: 1 sc in the next 7 st. Change back for the light brown and work as follows: 1 sc in the next 6 st. (18)
    • Round 11: keep working with the light brown: [1 dec, 1 sc] x6. (12)

Place the eyes between Rounds 9 and 10, spaced by 2 st.

Using your tapestry needle and 2 strands of gold yarn, make a nose between Rounds 8 and 9, over 1 stitch.

Fill the body with polyfill.

  • Round 12: [6 dec]. (6)

Cut the yarn, close the body and fasten it off.

  • Round 1: start 5 sc in a magic ring. (5) – NB: if you work with plush yarn: ch2; make 5 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. (5)

Cut the yarn but leave a long tail for sewing. Insert the yarn in the first sc to close the feet.

Sew the feet to the body over Rounds 2 and 3, spaced by 2 stitches. I placed the right side of the feet against the owl’s body. It is sometimes hard to sew such small pieces, so I used some glue.

  • Row 1: ch 5. (5)
