Welcome to week three of the Ogo Owl Crochet Along! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating an adorable crochet owl. This project is perfect for craft enthusiasts of all skill levels, and I will provide detailed instructions and tips for each step. So grab your yarn and crochet hook, and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. Here's a list of items you will need:

• Yarn in the desired colors
• Crochet hook
• Safety eyes or worsted weight yarn for the eyes
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Polyfill fiber stuffing

Now that we have everything ready, let's dive into the crochet along instructions.

Crochet Along Instructions

Body and Head

To start, we will crochet the body and head of the owl. Follow the pattern instructions provided to create a round shape for the body and head. Make sure to leave an opening for stuffing.

Making the Eyes

You have two options for creating the eyes. The first option is to use safety eyes, which you can easily find at craft stores or online. Simply attach the front part of the safety eye to the crocheted face and secure it with the back. The second option is to crochet the eyes using worsted weight yarn. Create a magic ring and work six single crochets into it. Stitch the crocheted eyes onto the face, either in the center or slightly off to the side.

Stitching the Eyes onto the Head

Once the eyes are ready, it's time to attach them to the head. Ensure that the loose ends of your stitches are on one side, as we will be stitching the head closed. Use a tapestry needle to stitch the eyes onto the crocheted head, working under the tops of the stitches and through the middle. Secure the eyes by weaving the loose ends on the inside. Repeat the process for the second eye.

Attaching the Beak

Next, we will attach the beak to the crocheted face. Position the beak underneath the eyes, either placing it centrally or slightly overlapping the eyes. Stitch the beak to the face by working under the edges of the stitches and bringing the needle through the eye into the corner. Make sure the beak is secure and weave in the loose ends.

Stuffing the Owl

Now it's time to stuff the owl. Start by filling the body with polyfill fiber stuffing. Adjust the stuffing as needed to achieve the desired firmness. Continue stuffing the head, taking care to evenly distribute the filling. Feel free to add more stuffing to the bottom of the owl if necessary.

Stitching the Top of the Head Closed

To close the top of the head, pinch the opening together and stitch it closed. Work under the tops of the stitches, ensuring a secure closure. For more definition, you can stitch a couple of times around the top corners to make the ear stick up slightly. Weave in the strand to secure it.

Attaching the Wings

The next step is to attach the wings to the owl. Place each wing on the sides of the body, ensuring there are no visible seams. Work the tapestry needle under the tops of the stitches, connecting the wing to the body. Weave in the strand to secure it, trimming any excess yarn.

Adding the Feet

To make the owl stand up, we will attach the feet. Position the feet at the front of the owl, angled slightly outward. Hold the foot in place, working the tapestry needle under the stitches of the foot and body. Weave in the strand to secure it, repeating the process for the second foot.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own crochet owl! Feel free to experiment with different color combinations and personalize your owl by adding little accessories like a bow or a hat. I hope you enjoyed this crochet along and that your owl brings joy and cuteness to your home. Happy crafting!
