In the button series there is a new friend to be found! The tiny owl!
This little fellow is easily done.
You need:
· 2 colours of puppet yarn
· 1.5mm crochet hook
· sewing needle
· a tiny amount of stuffing (polyfill, scrap yarn, what have you)
· something to make it buttonable, I use safety needles
Abbreviations: sc single crochet
Head:
1. Round: crochet 6 sc in a circle (with the magic ring technique or chain 2 and make 6 in the 2nd stitch from hook)
2. Round: crochet 2 sc in each sc (12)
3. Round: *sc then 2sc in next sc* repeat around (18)
4. Round: *sc in next 2 sc, then 2sc in next sc* repeat around (24)
5. -10. Round: sc in each (24)
Fasten off, stuff and sew opening close. That automagically makes the little ears, but you might stitch a few times into them to shape them a bit.
Triangle:
1. Row: Chain 9
2.-4. Row: sc in each stitch across chain with a turning stitch
Then sc in each sc for every row without a turning stitch until there is only one left. Fasten off.
Single crochet once around triangle, to make it smoother. Fasten off. Sew it on the head.
Eyes (make 2):
1. Round: crochet 6 sc in a circle (with the magic ring technique or chain 2 and make 6 in the 2nd stitch from hook)
2. Round: crochet 2 sc in each sc (12)
Fasten off, sew to head.
Attach safety needle or equivalent and have fun.
