Crochet Stuffed Owlie

For this project, I crossed over to the crocheting world.

I'm not so good at crocheting (I tried it before committing to knitting).. but I have some basic skills in my back pocket.  Thank you, Kyrra!  She makes lovely crocheted "Cupcake Hats", by the way.


Project Forest Ninja Owlie


Pinterest.  

The other week, I came across this adorable little owlie.  I posted it to my page & got a positive response & even an order!

I started the project last night & it was rather quick to make.  It took some time to really perfect my pattern though, as usual.  First, it was too big to be "keychain size", then it was perfecto!!

Starting with a "magic circle", I just stitched the body using a series of single crochets (sc) in rounds, increasing until my desired size then just kept (sc)ing until I achieved the height that I wanted.  You can change the colours as you go as well.

Forest Ninja Owlie - Handmade By Sylvie

My buyer wanted a  "ninja"-esque Owlie.  I made mine starting with a black base and contrasted the top with a forest green.  Then I added on two rounds of cream for the eyes & crocheted 2 mini chains w/ 2 rows for its wings.

I'm still waiting to find some black buttons to finish off this little Owlie.

Easy peasy, stuff & decorate!
