Info and Tips
The head and body are crocheted in one piece. Color changes are made using the tapestry crochet technique (jacquard), carrying the unused yarn behind your work when crocheting the body pattern, or cutting the threads when color changes are widely separated, as on the owl’s face.
Cheeks (make 2)

- rnd 3: sc in all 10 sts [10]
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Do not stuff.

Stuff the head. Do not cut the yarn.
Legs
To make the legs, divide the work, assigning 21 stitches for each leg. Find the center back stitch. If you haven’t reached it yet, continue crocheting to this point or undo a few stitches if necessary. Ch 3 and join the last chain to the 21st stitch of the previous row with a single crochet (this sc will be the first stitch of the leg). Now the stitches of the first leg are joined in a round. Continue crocheting the first leg:
- rnd 1: sc in next 21 sts on the body, BLO sc in next 3 ch [24]
- rnd 2: (sc in next 2 sts, dec) 6 times [18]
- rnd 3: (sc in next st, dec) 6 times [12]
Change to color (08).
- rnd 4: BLO (sc in next st, dec) 4 times [8]
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Tightly stuff the body and leg.
Second Leg
Join color (58) yarn in the first unworked stitch at the back of round 38. This is where we start the first stitch of the second leg.
- rnd 1: sc in next 21 sts on the body, FLO sc in next 3 ch, sc in the first st to join the round [24]
- rnd 2-4: Repeat the pattern for the first leg.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Tightly stuff the leg.

- rnd 1: Start 6 sc in a magic ring [6]

Fasten off the first and second toes, leaving a tail for sewing. Do not fasten off the third toe. We will join the toes to make the foot.
- rnd 4: sc in next 3 sts on the second toe, sc in all 6 sts on the first toe, sc in remaining 3 sts on the second toe, sc in all 6 sts on the third toe [18]
You can close the holes between the toes using a tapestry needle and the remaining yarn ends. Lightly stuff them.
