Free Pattern: Big and Chubby Owl

I made this guy as a birthday present for my cousin. I love making it, and I got to use up a chunk of my yarn stash! This owl is made using three strands of yarn held together and large hook (except the beak), so he works up pretty quickly. If you have any questions about this pattern, I am happy to answer them :)

Supplies needed:

Three (3) 150 yard strands of worsted weight yarn (a total of 450 yards of yarn) yellow was used as the main color (mc)

Three (3) 12 yard strands of worsted weight yarn (a total of 36 yards of yarn) white was used as the contrasting color (cc)

One (1) 7 yard strand of worsted weight yarn. Orange was used as the second contrasting color (scc)

One (1) 9.00 mm crochet hook

One (1) 4.00 mm crochet hook

A pair of black 12.00 mm plastic eyes (and the poster for the back)

A large tapestry needle

A large amount of polyester stuffing (can be found at your local craft store. Or, you can use the stuffing from an old pillow)

Stitch and technique abbreviations:

Single crochet: sc

Increase: sc 2 in each st

Decrease: sc2tog

Magic ring: mr

Chain stitch: ch

Stitch(es): st(es)
 
That's it. Simple, right?

Note: The entire owl was crocheted in the back loop only.

     The Body Pattern

Make 1. With three strands of MC yarn held together and a 9.00 mm crochet hook, 

1) mr, ch 1, sc 6 into the ring (6 st(es))        

2) sc 2 in each st (12 st(es))

3) *sc 2 in the next st, sc in next st* 6 times (18 st(es)

4) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 2 st(es)* 6 times (24 st(es))                                 

5) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 3 st(es)* 6 times (30 st(es))                                          

6) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 4 st(es)* 6 times (36 st(es))

7) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 5 st(es)* 6 times (42 st(es))

8) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 6 st(es)* 6 times (48 st(es))

9) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 7 st(es)* 6 times (54 st(es))

10) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 8 st(es)* 6 times (60 st(es))

11-32) sc in each st (60 st(es) in each round)

Fasten off with a long tail, then press the two sides together. Using
whipstitch, sew the two sides together, stuffing it before it is completely
closed.

      The Eye Pattern

Make 2. With three strands of CC yarn held together and a 9.00 mm crochet
hook, 

1) mr, ch 1, sc 6 into the ring (6 st(es))

2) sc 2 in each st (12 st(es))

3) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next st* 6 times (18 st(es))

4) *sc 2 in next st, sc in next 2 st* 6 times (24 st(es))

Fasten off. Insert one (1) 12.00 MM black plastic craft eye into the middle of each eyes, and attach the back poster. Attach the eyes near the top of the body.

    The Beak Pattern

Make 1. Using 1 strand of worsted weight yarn, and a 4.00 MM crochet hook,
1) Mr, ch 1, sc 6 into the ring (6 st)

2) sc 2 in each st (12 st)

3-6) sc in each st (3 rounds of sc with 12 in each round)
Fasten off, and attach right between the eyes.

That's it! You now have yourself a cute and cuddly (and not to mention chubby) owl!

Hi Emma,
This is adorable. I've been making some smaller owls using a similar pattern. Mine have a flatter base, and some additional sc to form ears. A friend asked me to use my pattern to make memory toys for their children, when they had to say, "good-bye" to an ailing family pet :-(.

Really cute pattern and good for you for creating and maintaining a blog and website. I am inspired!!

Thanks,
Robin

    Hello!

    I'm Emma, a crocheter, knitter, yarn dyer, and the list goes on. I'm pretty much obsessed with anything yarn related (except arm knitting. I haven't tried that).
