Oline the Owl


Everyone love owls...so of course I had to make an owl as well... This pattern is very simple and can easily be adjusted to the size you want. The purple owl is a bit smaller than the other.
For the first owl I crocheted the eyes and beak as well, but if you want to give it another look you can use rolling eyes and felt.

If you want to make your own owl, just follow the pattern below:

  • cotton yarn (2-4 colors for the body and wings + black and white for eyes + orange for beak)

  1. Very cute owl! I think when making the body, beginning at row 20, you meant to say "dec" rather than "inc". I am working on mine, and I'll send a link when I finish.
