Crochet Owl Family Amigurumi Pattern

June 27, 2012



Owls seem to be popular these days and I’m not complaining! I love seeing cute little owls everywhere. I even decorated little brother’s room in an owl theme. So it was time to make some cute little crochet owls. These were actually made for Adrianne and her daughter Raya from Happy Hour Projects (Adrianne, Hope you guys like them!). Fortunately I wrote down the pattern as I went along so I could share it with all of you :o)





Daddy Owl Pattern:


Materials:
Vanna’s Choice Yarn (Barely)
Loops and Threads Impeccibale Yarn (Aqua)
Black buttons (or safety eyes) for eyes


Hook Size: G (4.0)


Start with blue yarn


Magic ring, Chain 1, 6 SC in making ring, do not join
Work in rounds and use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds
Round 2: 2 SC in each, around (12 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC, SC in next, around (18 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC, SC in next 2, around (24 SC)
Round 5: 2 SC, SC in next 3, around (30 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC, SC in next 4, around (36 SC)
Round 7-15: SC around (36 SC)
Change color to brown
Round 16: SC around (36 SC)
Round 17: SC decrease, SC in next 4, around
Round 18: Sc decrease, SC in next 3, around
Round 19: Sc decrease, SC in next 2, around, slip stitch to join

Stuff, sew top edges together

When you press the top edges together, it naturally creates a slight bend that forms the owl ears. Sew them together using a whipstitch. You can make two whipstitches in both ends to create more of an ear. See pictures:


Wings (make 2):
Work in rounds
Magic ring, chain 1
SC 6 in magic ring,
Round 2: 2 SC in each (12 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC, SC, around (18 SC)
Round 4-9: Sc around
Round 10: SC Decrease, SC, around

Don’t stuff, sew shut and sew onto sides of body where the two colors meet. I always like to try to cover up the area where I changed colors. 

You will want to sew on the bottom part of the wing as well. I did this by weaving my yarn through the wing and out the bottom of the wing, then sew the bottom of the wing onto the body and weave in ends.


Eyes (Make 2):
Magic ring, chain 1
8 sc in ring ,pull tight, join, chain 1
Change color
Round 2: 2 SC in each, join, leave long tail.
Weave in all other ends, attach button in center. Sew onto body, centered on color change line.

Nose:
Chain 4, 
Slip stitch in second chain from hook,
SC in next
HDC in next
Fasten off and sew on to body.

Materials:
Vanna’s Choice Yarn (Barley)
Vanna’s Choice Yarn (Light Pink)
Black buttons (or safety eyes) for eyes

Hook Size: F (3.75)

Work in rounds and use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds
Round 2: 2 SC in each, around (12 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC, SC in next, around (18 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC, SC in next 2, around (24 SC)
Round 5: 2 SC, SC in next 3, around (30 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC, SC in next 4, around (36 SC)
Round 7-12: SC around (36 SC)
Change color to brown
Round 13: SC around (36 SC)
Round 14: SC decrease, SC in next 4, around
Round 15: Sc decrease, SC in next 3, around
Round 16: Sc decrease, SC in next 2, around, slip stitch to join
Stuff, sew top edges together. Follow instructions above for sewing ears.





Wings (make 2):
Work in rounds
Magic ring, chain 1
SC 6 in magic ring,
Round 2: 2 SC in each (12 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC, SC, around (18 SC)
Round 4-7: Sc around
Round 8: SC Decrease, SC, around



Sew shut and follow instructions above for sewing wings on.


Eyes (Make 2):
Magic ring, chain 1
8 sc in ring ,pull tight, join, chain 1
Change color
Round 2: 2 SC in each, join, leave long tail.
Weave in all other ends, attach button in center. Sew onto body, centered on color change line.

Nose:
Chain 4, 
Slip stitch in second chain from hook,
SC in next
HDC in next
Fasten off and sew on to body.


This little one would also make a nice keychain!



Baby Owl Pattern:

Round 4: 2 SC, SC in next 2, around (24 SC)

Round 9: SC decrease, SC in next 2, around
Round 10: SC decrease, SC in next, slip stitch to join
Stuff, sew top edges together. Follow instructions above for sewing ears.

Wings (Make 2):

Nose:
Chain 3, 
Slip stitch in second chain from hook,
SC in next
Fasten off and sew on to body.







Update 9/14/12: I made another set of these and found that it is easier to sew on the eyes and nose before stuffing it. Also, I recommend using safety eyes instead of buttons. They look better and are easier to attach (and safer too!).

    I never dropped by for the pattern post, since my idea of crocheting is pretty much, um, tying a knot – I was only adoring these little guys on Facebook. 😉 So I was so surprised to see these when I picked up the mail today! THANK YOU, these are so adorable I can hardly stand it!! They are a perfect size for little hands and they aren't likely to break anything when thrown – my daughter is going to LOVE them (and I love the hat, it's just hard to get as excited when it's pushing 100 degrees outside right now, LOL).

    You are the BEST, Sarah!!!

So I think it will be warmly received. I think I'll include a card that says, "Whoo loves you?!" or something like that.

    Did I read the note at the bottom of this pattern correctly? Once I use your little owl family pattern, you are requesting NO PHOTOS of my little owl family be posted online anywhere? I usually post my finished projects on FB and/or my page on http://www.ravelry,com with a link to where I got the pattern. I have no problem whatsoever honoring your request not to post … I just want to be absolutely sure of what your policy is on the subject. : )
    Now, with all that seriousness out of the way 😉 … I absolutely think this little owl family is ADORABLE!!! I cannot wait to work up a family of my own to disperse among my grandkids. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your patterns with the rest of us crafters!

    I love the pattern. I made them for my four month old baby. I have put a small container with some beans inside and hung them over his seat so they rattle when he hits them. He absolutely loves it. I think it is the big eyes that make them so interesting for babies. A big thank you from sarah ( and baby boy louis).

    I've already made a dad owl and mom owl…and I thought the baby owl would be no problem…..but Its really confusing because rounds 1 to 4 are no problem. But then it says change to brown sc around 5-8…then change to brown again for 9 and 10. There's only 4 rounds of the color for the body? it wouldn't look like the pictures which from what I saw looks like there's more rounds for the bottom half..and the top half….I'm really confused D: 🙁

      I think the first "change to brown" is wrong, I think you just have to crochet in the same colours from round 1 to 8, and then change to your other colour…

    hi !
    i know this pattern been here for a long time, but i just found it.
    If somebody can translate it to me in french it could be nice.
    i have some difficulties, after round 16 when we begin to decrease. I am not sure what to do, with how much stiches am i suppose to end with ?
    do i begin with a decrease ? or with a SC ? explainit to me please !!!
    Round 17: SC decrease, SC in next 4, around
    Round 18: Sc decrease, SC in next 3, around
    Round 19: Sc decrease, SC in next 2, around, slip stitch to join

    thank you so much ! Josie

      Round 17: SC decrease, SC in next 4, around (30)
      Round 18: Sc decrease, SC in next 3, around (24)
      Round 19: Sc decrease, SC in next 2, around, (18) slip stitch to join

      After you’ve finished round 16 and are moving onto 17, do a single crochet decrease (scdec) (if you’re not sure how, youtube is a wonderful place to learn, its how I learned), then do the next 4 single crochets. You’ll do this all the way around row 17.
      For row 18, start with a scdec, then 3 sc, then a scdec, etc, all the way around.
      For row 19, start with a scdec, then 2 sc and repeat until you’ve made it around the row.

      Hope that helps! If not, I can try again (or someone else can clarify). Happy crocheting!

    Hi, these are adorable. I am making the daddy owl. I am confused about the eyes. You start with the barley then change color to use the body color such as the blue but then you say attach to the body but what about the white rings around the eyes. I don’t see where you have included that in your pattern. I have made my own, by just increasing the rows so the eyes lay flatter. Just wondered about that.
