Owl - Shelf Sitter - Crochet Pattern

OWL

This cute Owl is part of my Shelf Sitters Collection, even though she doesn't have long legs that could hang over the edge of the shelf. :)

The Shelf Sitters never stay in one place for long here. My kids are just too fascinated by them and love to play with them. :)

The Owl is an absolute favorit. I had to make several already in all kinds of color-combinations.
The Owl is cute. It's easy and fast to crochet. You can play around with colors to make it look different each time. And it makes a perfect gift. :)

Note:
My patterns have two parts.

• You're a pro? Great, then the first part of my pattern is most likely all you need. You'll find pure crochet instructions there with a few pictures on the side. Have a quick look on page 2 to check which pages to print (the box in the upper left corner).
• You're a beginner? Then additionally to the pure crochet instructions you'll find lots of step-by-step instructions for the different steps in the second part of this pattern. Everything is explained in detail with lots of pictures and in understandable words.
