Crochet Owl Ornament Pattern

Thank you so much everyone for your sweet comments on my blanket! You guys are the best! It
seemed everyone who commented puts up their tree either the weekend after Thanksgiving or the
first week of December, so to get you ready for tree decorating here is the pattern for a little crochet
owl ornament!

Materials:
scrap worsted weight cotton
size US H crochet hook
black brads or black buttons
poly-fil stuffing
stitch marker
Notes: The body is worked in a spiral so you will not slip stitch at the end of each row. Instead
place a marker so you know where the beginning of the next row is. I like to use a small piece of
contrasting scrap yarn because it is easier to just pull out and place between the stitches.

Body:

I used the colors pink (A), green (B) red (C), blue (D).
With Color A make magic loop
Row 1: 12 sc in loop (12sc)
Row 2: *Sc 1, 2 sc in the next sc*, rep 6 times. (18sc)
Row 3: *sc 2, 2 sc in the next sc*, rep 6 times. (24sc)
Row 4: *sc 3, 2 sc in the next sc*, rep 6 times. (30sc)
Row 5: Sc in each sc around. (30sc)
Row 6-7: Change to color B and sc in each sc around.(30sc)
Row 8-9: Change to Color C, sc in each sc around. (30sc)
Row 10-11 Change to color D, sc in each sc around. (30sc)
Row 12: Change to color A, sc in first 3sts, decrease (sc2tog), sc in each st. (29sc)
Row13-18: sc in each sc around. (29sc)
Row 19: Sc in next 4 sc, fold the body on the top and crochet together 6 sts, slip stitch in the sc 1
row below, stuff the owl with poly fil, crochet together last sts, end with a sl.st.
Fasten off. Weave in ends

Eyes (make 2):

magic loop in white.
Row 1: ch3, 11 dc in loop. Join with a sl st to top of ch3.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.
Add a black brad or button to center of eye. You can alternatively embroidery a french knot in the
center.

Beak:
1) Ch 3, turn.
2) Crochet 2 sc, turn.
3) Crochet 1 sc, turn.
4) Make a sl.st.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Assembly:
I am extremely lazy and just glue on the eyes and the beak on to the owl, but feel free to sew them
on. If you would like to add a hanging loop, just make a chain of 14 and sew it on the center top of
the owl. I decided that I liked the owl better with just a Christmas ornament hook looped through a
stitch on the top :)

There you have it a super simple Christmas ornament!

I hope you all enjoy!
