| Crochet Owl |
I didn't get the V's on the tummy balanced and the black eye stitches could have been straighter but still think it looks very cute.
It was based on Skapa och Inreda's pattern but modified it to my own needs. I used Google Translate to read the blog.
I created a circle as the base to the diameter that I wanted the owl to be then worked sc up to the point where wings would be attached. I then quartered the amount of stitches in the round and used that as the chain length to start each wing. I used the same ball of yarn but just pulled out the other end and did the wings from the other end. I used variegated yarn for the owl so wanted a solid colour for the edging of the wings to make them more defined. I used the same colour to do the Vs on the tummy area to break up the colour just as Skapa och Inreda did in their pictures. Then I did another round and sc'ed in the wings where I wanted them. Then sc up to the height I wanted the head to be. I did the two white circles and made the eyes closed because I thought that looked really cute. On Skapa och Inreda they have suggestions for an open eye and a closed eye. I thought my next one might look cute winking. (Friends have a lot of babies being born at the moment - with hopefully even more coming.)
Then I stuffed it and sc the top. Sewed on the eyes and beak. I thought about doing feet but I thought they probably were not necessary.
So thank you to Skapa och Inreda and I am sharing lots of shots below so you can see how it was constructed.
