Crochet Owl Decorations


I love these little owls!


I found the pattern over at Hopscotch Lane. It's a lovely little pattern :)


As always for me, I made a few changes ;)


As with the Crochet Granny Stars, I used a 2.5mm hook and very fine wool.


As with the pattern, I cheated and glued the eyes on (the glue gun has become a regular sofa friend of mine this month!) I couldn't find any appropriate sized buttons or sequins for the middle of the eyes, so hole punched black card sufficed! I think they look cute :) I stuck the card on with PVA. And the beaks are just three stitches of yellow wool, as it was less fiddly on such a small scale!


I think these are some of my favourite additions to our tree this year, and I can see them making great gifts, too. I might try a larger size at some point, maybe with wings...?!



Why not have a look at the other crafts in my Christmas category...

    Loving all your pretty decorations Helen your cute owls are a real hoot!- you have been busy...and have so much patience hooking with such fine thread. Yesterday I saw my first ever real owl (not in captivty!) it was hooting in a tree next door...only saw its silhouette but it did fly gracefully from branch to branch!
    Hope you are able to do a bit more of what you enjoy at the moment.

      Thank you! Oh that sounds amazing, I haven't seen an owl in the wild in many years!
      Things aren't great atm, but I'm trying to focus on the good stuff, thank you :) I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

      Thanks! I'm a bit obsessed with cute owls too, as you can probably tell by my owl tag! (http://creativechaosart.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/owl)
