Cheeky Owls - Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Sometimes the best little crochet projects start with nothing more than a handful of colorful yarn scraps and a pair of big owl eyes.

These cheeky little owls are quick to crochet and wonderfully easy to personalize. Make them bright and colorful, choose a softer coordinated palette, stick to natural shades, or simply see what treasures are hiding in your yarn stash. No two owls need to look the same.

With this amigurumi crochet pattern, you can create a whole little flock of your own. The finished owls make cheerful decorations for a bookshelf or windowsill and are also lovely as small handmade gifts, thoughtful little thank-yous or just-because surprises.

The pattern is suitable for confident beginners who are already familiar with basic crochet techniques.

You should be familiar with:
magic ring, chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, increases, decreases and color changes.

Using the suggested materials, the owls will be approximately 10–11 cm (4–4.3 in) tall, with a wingspan of up to 13 cm (5.1 in).

Your finished owls may turn out slightly larger or smaller depending on your yarn, hook size and individual crochet tension.

• yarn in a variety of colors
• a crochet hook suitable for your yarn
• black beads for the eyes
• stuffing

There’s no need to buy new yarn especially for this project. Small leftovers from your stash are perfect for mixing and matching – and sometimes the unexpected color combinations turn out to be the most fun.
