KEY CHAINS - OWL

1 Owl to go, please!
These cute Owls love to hang on bags, belt-loops, rear-view mirrors or keys. So they'll go wherever you go.
The loop on the head is crocheted, so it's quite sturdy. It can be left out, too. That way you'll have a cute little eye-catcher for your shelf or desk.
They make awesome little presents, too!

Note:
My patterns have two parts.

• You're a pro? Great, then the first part of my pattern is most likely all you need. You'll find pure crochet instructions there with a few pictures on the side. Have a quick look on page 2 to check which pages to print (the box in the upper left corner).

• You're a beginner? Then additionally to the pure crochet instructions you'll find lots of step-by-step instructions for the different steps in the second part of this pattern. Everything is explained in detail with lots of pictures and in understandable words.
