Amigurumi Owl Crochet Pattern

Hello dear Amigurumi enthusiasts! Today I would like to share with you a free Amigurumi Bird pattern and construction instructions. Amigurumi has become a popular hobby in the world of craftsmanship, and in this article I will present you a great Amigurumi Bird design. Trust your imagination while doing amigurumi. And dare to create your own unique designs. Welcome to the Amigurumi world, enjoy fun handicraft projects.

Information Before Starting:
You can either make an Owl with bulky yarn (5 weight) or regular yarn (4 weight). The bulky Owl and the regular yarn owl are made the same with exception of the eyes. I didn’t use bulky yarn for the bulky owl’s “contrasting” colors.
In this pattern, “Main Color” is used to describe the main color of the Owl. “Contrasting Color” is used to describe the belly, feet, and beak color.
You can also use this pattern to make a Penguin! All you need to do is not make the ears and sew the beak on vertically, not horizontally.

Supplies:
4mm Hook, 8mm Safety Eyes, Tapestry Needle, Stuffing, Scissors
Yarn Used: Cloud & Star Blue in Red Heart “Hygge Charm”, White in Big Twist Value

Stitches Used:
Magic Ring, Ch, Sc, Inc, Dec, Dc, FLO (Front Loop Only), BLO (Back Loop Only).

Round 21: *Dec, Sc 6* all around (42)
Round 22: In BLO (Back Loop Only), *Dec, Sc 5* all around. We do this in the BLO so the bottom of the head doesn’t protrude out. (36)

Round 23: In BLO, *Dec, Sc 4* all around (30)
At this point, I make the Eyes and Beak. Once you finish them, sew them on and continue with the Head. Refer to Eyes & Beak portion of the pattern now, then continue Head.

Round 41: *Dec, Sc 6* all around. Stuff now. (42)

Note: At this point, we work in the Back Loop Only. We do this to have our work decrease more inward rather than outward. Be sure to not overstuff the bottom of this piece, as you want the bottom piece to be FLAT and not protruded so your Owl can sit! Make sure your work looks like the photos.

Round 42: In BLO (Back Loop Only), *Dec, Sc 5* all around (36)
Round 43: In BLO, *Dec, Sc 4* all around (30)
Round 44: In BLO, *Dec, Sc 3* all around (24)
Round 45: In BLO, *Dec, Sc 2* all around (18)
Round 46: In BLO, *Dec, Sc* all around (12)

Finish off and adjust any stuffing if you need to, make sure the base of the Owl sits flat. Sew shut.
