Making Adorable Crochet Owl: Eyes, Beak, Wings, Feet
Crochet owls are cute and popular projects for crafters of all skill levels. In this crochet along, we will be making different parts of an adorable owl over the course of three weeks. In week one, we created the body and head, leaving it open and unfinished. Now, in week two, we will be focusing on making the eyes, beak, wings, and feet that will give our owl its unique charm. By the end of week three, we will stitch all the parts together to complete our cute crochet owl.
Making the Eyes
To start making the eyes, we will use a cream-colored yarn. Make a magic ring and crochet ten single crochets into the ring. Join the last stitch to the first stitch and chain one. For the second round, make two single crochets in each stitch around, resulting in a total of 20 stitches. After joining again, cut the yarn leaving a long tail for later. Repeat this process to make two eyes.
Making the Beak
For the beak, use a yellow yarn. Make a slipknot and chain four. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in the last two chains. Chain one and turn your work. Now, complete a single crochet decrease over three stitches. This decrease creates the unique shape of the beak. Finish off the yarn, leaving a tail for stitching later.
Making the Wings
Using the darker brown yarn, we will make the wings of our crochet owl. Begin with a magic ring, then crochet four single crochets into the ring. Join the last stitch to the first stitch, chain one, and start the second round. In this round, make two single crochets in the first stitch and one single crochet in the next. Repeat this pattern around to achieve a total of 12 stitches. Continue following the pattern for each round, increasing the number of stitches until you reach the desired size for the wings. Finish off the yarn, leaving a long tail.
Making the Feet
To create the feet of our crochet owl, use the yellowish yarn. Start with a magic ring and crochet six single crochets into the ring. Join the last stitch to the first stitch and chain one. For the second round, make two single crochets in each stitch around. Join again and chain one. Continue working in rounds, following the pattern for each round, until you have created two feet. Finish off the yarn, leaving a tail for stitching later.
Stitching the Eyes onto the Head
To attach the eyes onto the head of the owl, use the long tail of each eye. Position the eyes where you want them on the head and secure them by stitching around the edges. Make sure the eyes are evenly spaced and aligned correctly. Once the eyes are securely stitched in place, weave in any loose ends.
Stitching the Beak onto the Face
Take the beak and position it above the eyes, in the center of the face. Using the tail left from the beak, stitch it securely onto the head. Make sure the beak is centered and properly attached. Weave in any loose ends.
Stitching the Wings onto the Body
Using the long tail of each wing, stitch the wings onto the sides of the owl's body. Position them where you want them to be, ensuring they are symmetrically aligned. Stitch them securely, making sure they are firmly attached. Weave in any loose ends.
Stitching the Feet onto the Bottom
Now, take the feet and position them at the bottom of the owl's body. Using the long tail of each foot, stitch them onto the bottom securely. Ensure the feet are evenly placed and aligned correctly. Stitch them firmly, making sure they are well-attached. Weave in any loose ends.
