I used Sugar and Cream cotton yarn with a H/8 - 5 mm crochet hook. I also crochet very tightly.
Start with a magic ring and hook 6 single crochet into it. Then, pull it tight and slip stitch into the first single crochet to join. This is your first round.
Second Round - Chain one and then hook 2 single crochets in each stitch. Slip stitch into the chain one to join.
Third Round - Change colors and then chain two. Hook a single crochet in the first stitch and then chain one. Single crochet in the next stitch and then chain one. Repeat until you get to the end of the round and slip stitch into the second chain of the chain two.
Fourth Round - Change colors and chain one. Double crochet in the chain one space and single crochet in the single crochet stitch, repeating this until you get to the end of the round and slip stitch into the chain one.
Fifth Round - Chain two and double crochet into the same space. Then hook two double crochets into the next stitch, one single crochet into the next three stitches and then two double crochets in the next two stitches. At the top of your circle you will have -
(from right to left) ch 2 + dc, 2 dc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 dc, 2 dc.
Now, slip stitch in the next stitch, single crochet in the next three stitches and then hook two single crochets in the fourth, repeating -
*1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in 4th st*
around the rest of the body ending with a slip stitch into the last single crochet stitch, a slip stitch in the chain two space and a slip stitch in the first double crochet.
To finish the top of the owl, you will hook a half double crochet in the next stitch, double crochet, chain one, double crochet in the next stitch, half double crochet in the next stitch, slip stitch in the next two stitches, half double crochet in the next stitch, double crochet, chain one, double crochet in the next stitch, half double crochet in the next stitch and finishing with a slip stitch in the next stitch.
hdc, dc + ch + dc, hdc, sl st, sl st, hdc, dc + ch + dc, hdc, sl st
Leave a nice long tail of yarn when you cut, for finishing. Pull the yarn all the way through the loop on your hook and pull tight. Using a yarn needle,
weave your tail through the back of your owl making your way up to an ear.
For the eyes, make a magic ring with eight single crochets. Slip stitch into the first single crochet to join and leave a long tail when you cut your yarn. Use the tail to stitch the eye in place. Choosing a dark color, make a french knot for the eye.
The beak is embroidered on with yarn.
When you are finished, weave in all of your loose yarn ends and cut them off.
FYI - I have removed the stitch count for each round because I did make a mistake in my counting (uh-oh). I will be refiguring those and will hopefully be putting them up soon. I do appreciate any feedback given about the pattern...
That is adorable! Well done!

So, so cute. I've been a little owl obsessed too. I love how he has the lighter colours on his tummy.
ReplyDeleteyou have OOCD obsessive owl craziness disorder
Deletethanks to both of you... i have seen so many cute owls lately - and they are all cute :)
ReplyDeleteHello, you can send the stitch in spanish please.
DeleteI love this pattern and I am doing my baby nursery in owls so it is perfect. I just got frustrated because I was having troubles making the ears pointy.
DeleteLaura,
DeleteThanks for posting this so cute owl. But I was wondering what is a "magic ring"? I even asked at the craft stores in my area and no one seems to know what it is. I would love to make one of these so please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks!
Susan
chain three and make all your beginning stitches in the first chain.
DeleteGo to www.craftyminx.com and look for the crochet school. From there you can look up the video for crocheting in the round and she will show you how to do the magic circle. It's difficult to explain in a message.
DeleteI love that you did this. I looked all over for the owl pattern on pinterest, too. Thanks!! I think I'll start my owl tomorrow. :)
Deletesearch on YouTube for the magic ring or magic circle, it's just a different way to start in rounds
DeleteI just saw the cutest crocheted blanket on pintrest with owls on it (don't know if it's the same thing you saw there) and was dying to know how the person made those owls...so I found YOU, and thank goodness there are still great people like you that actually share their patterns etc. I really hope I can make some of these little cuties b/c I really love owls. Hopefully I can do it...thanks so much for figuring it out and posting publicly..you're a doll. :)
DeleteThanks, that is so cute and I seem to be owl crazy lately. I'm printing it out right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you sooooo much for the pattern I'm a beginner and needed the help..I plan to make many of these in different pastels then hook them all together to make a baby blanket for my expecting sister!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable idea...I'd love to see a picture of it if you did indeed make it...:) maybe you could post it here?
DeleteThis is simple, crafty, and very cute. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello, I tried to do this pattern last night and at the end of round 3 I got 24 stitches, not 18. I'm sure i'm not doing anything wrong...Do you know why I would be getting that amount instead of 18?
ReplyDeletethanks for seeing that Marissa. Back to the drawing board, lol...
DeleteHaha! :) I love it though, can't wait to make a bunch!
DeleteThanks. Good job on the pattern. I am planning to try it.
DeleteSo cute! What is the approximate size of this owl? I am thinking of different ways to use it. TIA
Deleteit's approximately 2 1/2 by 3 1/4 inches...
Deletethanks for the nice pattern i had just learn today.
DeleteJust saw this on Tangled Happy, gorgeous! Looking through your blog you have some beautiful creations <3
ReplyDeleteHelen x
So cute - I can't wait to try this. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell done for even attempting to write a pattern. I can't wait to try this, I've been looking a for a cute owl that actually looks like an owl and now I've found one :D Yay you! :D

Thanks so much for this pattern!!!...it took me a while to find an easy and cute owl pattern!!...here you can see some the owls I made with your pattern...i´m sure i´ll be making a lot more!. THANKS! http://tejelaarana.blogspot.com/2012/03/buho-obsesion-owl-obsession.html
ReplyDeleteMy friend and I made this yesterday. I will say I couldn't get the ears to point at all. I still love the owl though. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will usually pinch the ears with my fingers until they look they way I want. Sometimes I will even run my yarn twice through the back of the ear. Also, I use stiffer cotton yarn because I feel that it holds its shape better...
DeleteLaura
What a cute and lovely owl!Thank you so much for the tuto!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is so cute and easy to follow!Thanks for sharing!
Here's the owl i made following your pattern!

What is the magic ring?
ReplyDeleteTks this is very cute!
Vera
That is too cute!
ReplyDeleteHow many chains to make the ring?
ReplyDeleteThe owl starts with a magic ring and not a chain/slip stitch. You can find a magic ring tutorial here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLuSVyKvoUg
Deletegood luck :)
Laura
i need to try this.. can't wait to make it as decoration in my office.. TQ!
ReplyDeleteHello! We'd love to feature your patterns on Daisygreenmagazine.co.uk please contact nicola x
ReplyDeleteI just e-mailed you Nicola...
DeleteThis is great! I found some free owl applique patterns on Ravelry, but none that I liked. I was super discouraged and figured I would have to find another applique that was not an owl for my baby cousin's hat I am making her for Easter. I stumbled onto your pattern on Tangled HAppy's blog and I am so excited!! So that was my slightly long winded way of saying, "This is great!! Thank you!!!".
ReplyDeleteThis is just too adorable! I've only made a few afghans so far, so I'm still fairly new, but I will definitely give this a try soon!!! Any thoughts on how or if this can be worked into a granny swuare for an afghan? I don't want to just stitch it on, but would rather make the owl as the centerand then finish it off into a square. Am I crazy? =)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this pattern! I have my own blog with some crochet projects on it with free patterns if you want to check it out :)
ReplyDeleteWow - will totally try this out!
ReplyDeleteHow cute, thanks for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love this tutorial/pattern! I can't wait to make a bunch this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern. i am now following. Love Katie xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern! Nathalie (Belgium)
ReplyDeleteNice! Thanks for sharing. I made ons, but i have one question. What do you mean in the fifth round by: Chain two and double crochet into the same space?
ReplyDeleteThe chain two acts as the first double crochet when starting this row, so the chain two and a double crochet is the same as two double crochets in the same stitch.
DeleteLOVE this! Can't wait to make it:) Thanks for making a pattern<3
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through this Owl pattern on Ravelry and am SO glad I did! Your site and your creations are absolutely beautiful. I'm a new subscriber! Can't wait to make some of these cute little owls! :)

i want to try this out!! is the sitch count now correct or have u not posted it yet? im new to crochet and dont want to start and have it go all wrong. really cute owl!! cant wait to get started
ReplyDeleteSo cute.
ReplyDeleteI've done it and it´s so gorgeous!
That's so cute. It's kind of a good thing that I don't know how to crochet. Otherwise, I would be making them in many many color combinations and wouldn't be able to stop!
ReplyDeletei was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to hook these together to make a blanket. i'm a novice and am open to any suggestions!!
ReplyDeleteYou would need to create a boarder and make the owls into squares or rectangles or octagons....whatever is easiest. Then you could sew or crochet the squares together. Otherwise you could make a plain blanket and sew the owl squares onto it
Deletebellissimo questo "Gufo", grazie per il tutorial, l'ho fatto ed è venuto molto bello! :)
ReplyDeleteclaudio.raho@fastwebnet.it
These are so, so cute! I would love to make them a little bigger and give them as baby wash clothes to my expecting sis-in-law. Any tips for how to make them larger? Maybe about 5-6"?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteI've just made this, I love it, Thank you xx
ReplyDeleteLove it! Turned out so cute!
ReplyDeleteLoved this! Will definitely use again! Thanks soo much!
ReplyDeletei made a tester 1 before making one as part of my project its sweet simple and elegant all without trying :) its a great pattern with an opportunity to try this pattern with different types of wool thank you for the share xxx
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking........if you make a back side, leaving off the eyes, and then stuff it, you would have a cute small toy for a baby to hold........was thinking of using it for some of the LINUS quilts we make for babies....think that would work? has anyone tried it yet?
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job, it's such a pretty owl. Have you considered making a tutorial video of this?
ReplyDeleteWell, now, isn't this just the cutest thing?!? I made one in white, lavender and pink, and she's adorable. The only change I made was to sew the french knot onto the eyeball before sewing the eyes to the owl...that way the end of the french knot (I actually used a knot from candlewicking), was hidden when sewing on the eyes.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Thank you so much! It's so cute. The plan is to fix a clip onto it and have my new granddaughter wear it on a headband. If it looks too big, I know I'll find another use for it!
ReplyDeleteI made a little owl inspired by your pattern yesterday, you can check it out on my blog! Thanks for all the cuteness :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I love it. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm going to embellish a baby afghan with it. {Running off to pick up my crochet hook!}
ReplyDeleteHEY! it is very cute,but can anybody send me this tutorial on german? i dont get the most...
ReplyDeleteAw this is so cute! I want to make them, but bigger. How would I do that? I want one to be almost 4 times as big and another be 2 times as big.
ReplyDeletetry thicker yarn and a bigger hook?
DeleteGreat idea to try Sammy... Thanks
Deleteooof my ears keep coming out weird :(
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing the pattern, I'm going to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, thanks for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteI really want to turn this into a granny square blanket, any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI have seen granny squares with an owl center online. Do a Google search and you should find what you are looking for...
Deleteactually, I think this is the original pattern that you can buy through etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/88947162/crochet-pattern-owl-by-atergcrochet
ReplyDeleteI have seen several owl patterns online lately - this one is very cute too...
DeleteHello Laura,
ReplyDeleteI just tried to make the owl and wonder about the top. In round 5 there are 3 single crochets on the top of the owl head and the round above that only 2? Is this right?
going to write you an e-mail soon,
bye,
Elli
Hi Laura,
Deletemany thanks for your answer. I made three owls and if you like you can visit them http://naehliesel.blogspot.de/2012/11/eule-zugeflogen.html
I sewed one of them on a piece of fabric and filled it with whool...
Have a nice day,
greetings from germany,

This is owl is really cute.
ReplyDeleteAnnie
Awesome pattern! What are the measurements of the finished owl?
ReplyDeleteCutest... Thing... EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your pattern!
I <3 Owls. I saw this one on Pinterest as well, I want my Mom to make it for me because I don't crochet
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the pattern! The owl is very cute!
ReplyDeleteLove this crocheted owl thank you for showing. :)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the pattern of this very cute owl !!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Laura Maxell :) Thank you! For your time coming up with this pattern.I just started pinning.and learned the magic ring, just before Christmas. I'm having a blast.Vickie Smith ;)ty for sharing <3
ReplyDeletePerfect. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this owl however i Learn better with a video! could you make a youtube video of how to do this??
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to make this pattern!! I too was looking everywhere for it so that I can put them on the mittens I'm making for my daughter. I'm making them to match her owl hat so these will be perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern, super easy and turned out great! I made a second one without eyes and slip stitched then stuffed it as a small baby toy ! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial! Owl is sweet! I show my version here: http://zarazona-pasja.blogspot.com/2013/01/hu-hu-czyli-sowa-madra-gowa.html
ReplyDeleteOh, cool! I'm glad to discover both this pattern and your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to make these for the kiddos in my preschool class this year. Our class theme has been owls and I am going to turn the ones for the girls into hair clips....got to figure out what to turn them into for the boys....maybe make them a little bigger and turn them into bean bags? I appreciate the pattern!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
DeleteYou might try making the owls for the boys into clips for backpacks. My Daughter-in-law teaches preschool and they too are owls. I am trying to do this for her kiddos.
Hi Laura! Love your owl, real cute! I did one thing differently, to get nice pointy ears. At the end, when finishing the head, I replaced the chain one with [chain two, sc in second chain]. That's a trick from Lucy (Attic 24) and I use it every time I need something pointy. Thanks for the cute pattern! Greetings from Holland, Fleur
ReplyDeleteThank you for you kind words Fleur. I love Lucy's blog but I had never noticed that little trick before. I will have to try it...
DeleteLaura
Thank you for sharing the lovely owl pattern, it's really adorable. lovely blog too x
ReplyDeleteThank you Clare...
DeleteI tried this pattern and the owls body didn't come out circular. More octagon. What did I do wrong?
ReplyDeleteTry crocheting a little looser.
DeleteI crochet too tightly and can have that problem sometimes...
I just made one owl but i didnt folow your patern cause english is not my language so ididnt quit understood it. it turned out very good though. Thanks for sharing this idea.
ReplyDeleteLaura you are an amazingly creative person! I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the pattern. :)
Thank You Hiba...
DeleteChissà se guarderai questo commento.., ultimo tra tutti..., ma volevo dirti che ilgufo è molto carino e che proverò a farlo. Se ti fa piacere sono tra i tuoi sostenitori perchè amo il croket.Se ti va passa da me ..nel frattempo ti auguro Buona Pasqua
ReplyDeletePatry
Thank you - I hope you enjoy the pattern.
DeleteHappy Easter to you!
Laura
These patterns are so cute =^.^= I actually took this pattern and made them into bag tags since my family and I are traveling out to the Philippines for a bit. I figured they would be cute and very noticable so we know, as my dad likes to say "Hhhhhooo's bags these are!" xD he's silly...
ReplyDeleteHow did you embroider the beak? I dont understand.
ReplyDeleteUsing yarn, I started with a "V" shape, stitched (top to bottom, inside) to fill it in and then created 2 stitches across the top of the "V".
DeleteI am new to crocheting and don't really understand the written instructions. Is there a video tutorial? I can't seem to find anything. If not would you be willing to do one? I understand if you can't. I know that's a lot to ask for.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, Thanks for your work to make this cute owl pattern. I know how challenging it can be to communicate instructions. I have many years of experience, both writing and crocheting. I hope you will find this helpful.
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest the following changes to make it clearer. [I have labeled the individual dc stitches instead of using the word, 'next'. I have also separated the steps with periods. Finally, I found putting 2 chains, instead of 1, between the last row double crochets allows a pointier ear tuft. Two stitches, one above the other, made with the needle bring out the point.]
"To finish the top of the owl, hook a half double crochet in the 2nd DC stitch. Double crochet, chain TWO, double crochet in the 3rd DC stitch. Half double crochet in the 4th DC stitch. Slip stitch in the next THREE SC stitches. Half double crochet in the 1st DC stitch. Double crochet, chain TWO, double crochet in the 2nd DC stitch. Half double crochet in the 3rd DC stitch and finish with a slip stitch in the 4th DC stitch."
best, Diane
hi,thanku for sharing this pattern,i have made one using smaller hook and finer crochet cotton,im going to put it on a hair clip for my little girl,will post a pic as soon as i can work out how to do it lol
ReplyDeleteLaura, I am on pins and needles hoping I wasn't too presumptuous with my pattern suggestions. Sometimes I want to be helpful, but just sound 'bossy', at least that is what my first grade teacher told my mother over 50 years ago! I am loving the little owl I made from your pattern and have started several more. So far they are blind. I have lots of mother of pearl buttons I want to use when I can find the right size for eyes.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring. At my house the flowers are blooming gloriously! diane
Hi Diane,
DeleteThank you for your comments. I am sorry that I haven't responded until now but I have been so busy lately. Unfortunately it's made me very neglectful of my blog. I do appreciate your help with my pattern (no, you're not being bossy in my eyes). I just haven't had a chance to do any crafting lately, which makes me a little sad, nor have I been able to think through what you have suggested. I am glad you like the pattern though. Do you have a blog or something where you show your crafts? I would love to see your owls...
Well, I hope you weekend is off to a wonderful start.
Enjoy...
Laura
I can't wait to make some of these owls!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
ReplyDeletejust made my first one. It was easy for me to do. Though I had issues with the middle of the eye being black so im going to find some small buttons to put on instead and i added little claw at the bottom
ReplyDeleteSorry... There are so many comments! I was just hoping that there would be a revision coming for the eyes? I'm not versed in embroidery crochet, this would actually be my first attempt, so I have no idea where to start! Thanks so much!

Here are two different video tutorials on making french knots. It takes a little practice but is very easy once you get the hang of it.
Good luck.

Gracias Laura, buenisimo tutorial.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a stitch count yet?
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry.
DeleteVery cute owl! Thanks so much for sharing your pattern :-) I would never have guessed this was the first pattern you have ever written.
ReplyDeleteYou should youtube how to make the owl. That way we can follow along with you :)
ReplyDeleteLaura, this is such a cute owl, thank you so much for the pattern! I love the colors and his contrasting belly and, well, everything about it. I had a bit of trouble getting the ears to work for me so I modified it until I was satisfied (that's one of the great things about creativity, isn't it?) Here's my first finished test owl: http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/spexgirl/172794352/Owl_Pink_Test_Finished_medium.jpg
ReplyDeleteYour owl turned out great and I love your color choices. And you're right - being able to modify pattern so it will work for you is a wonderful thing. Thanks for sharing your picture with me.
DeleteOh my goodness. I love, love, love this! Great pics, too.
ReplyDeletegreat work, thanks for free pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this lovely pattern. I made it yesterday evening and now I want to make more more more more ;)

Thank you for the kind words Helen, it means a lot...
DeleteI just finished making one and used it on a headband for my 8 years old daughter Laura... She just loved it and can't wait to show it at school tomorrow! Thanks! (by the way, you are very good in writting patterns, it was very easy to follow, even to a foreigner...)
ReplyDeleteThank you Regina. I'm happy to hear that your daughter is excited to wear her owl headband.
DeleteDo you have a youtube video of how to make it? I'm a visual learner so I have a hard time following the written pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
sorry, no video
DeleteI just made a little keyhanger out of this pattern. It was great to follow, thanks for sharing. I made a couple of adjustments to it - you can see for yourself in my blogpost!
