Owl is trending now! Owls are used everywhere: backpacks, hats, rugs in the shape of an owl, they are on mittens, sweaters, hats, socks, and bookmarks.
Let's look at how to crochet an owl.
Owl
In the photo above we see a rug in the shape of an owl. It knits quite simply. We needed “Grass” yarn for the base of the rug, white, black and brown yarn to make the rug look like an owl, that is, for finishing. And a hook, or rather, two hooks, No. 4 and No. 9: with one they knitted the eyes, beak and wings, with the second - the rug itself.
First, with crochet number 9 we knit a circle with double crochets. We tie ears on it in the same way as in the description below. That’s it, we don’t use “Grass” anymore.
Eyes
Separately, we knit the eyes with white yarn in single crochets, and another row of single crochets with black yarn.
We knit the black pupils on top. I did this: insert the hook into the center of the eye from the front side, leaving the skein on the wrong side. We pick up the black thread, pull it out to the length of one row, insert the hook from top to bottom, pull out the black thread, ch. *Insert the hook into the middle of the eye again, pull out the black thread, move the hook behind the first white row, pull out the thread, ch, ch along the circle* and so on 6 times, connecting loop. We bring the thread to the wrong side, fasten it, and cut it.
You can embroider the eyes differently. To make it work sleeping owl, you need to embroider eyelashes along the lower white part of the eye.
owl eyes can be like this 
The beak and wings are triangles connected with single crochets. We knit, starting with 3 sc from one loop, adding one loop on each side in each row to the desired length.
Aunt Owl.
You will need: gray, white, black, brown yarn. Hook No. 4.
Description. We knit a circle with single crochets. We start with 6 columns from the amigurumi ring. We will knit in a spiral. In the first row, from each loop we knit 2 single crochets (sc). In the next one in one. Then *2 sc in each loop, 2 sc from 1 loop*, and so on. So we knit 7 rows. We close the row with a connecting column. The result was a bun.
We knit ears.
We cast on 5 air loops (ch) instead of a double crochet stitch (ss3n), in the same loop we knit a double crochet stitch (ss2n), in each next loop: dc2n, dc, dc, dc, ps (half-dc), sc.
Next we knit the second ear in the reverse order: mon, dc, dc, dc, dc2n, dc2n, dc3n.
Cut the thread. Here you can leave the tip of the thread the same length as the tassels or a little longer, then you can cut it.
Tassels on the ears.
Take a long thread and insert it into a gypsy needle. We make about 10 long stitches (you can use a ruler) in one loop at the tip of the ear. We wrap it several times around the tassel, secure it with a knot and cut the thread. We cut the loops and trim the tassels evenly.
Eyes.
There will be 2 identical parts. We knit 6 sc into the amigurumi ring. We will knit in rows, not in spirals. That is, we will close each row with a connecting loop. We will immediately hide the tip of the thread by placing it inside the loops. In the second row from each loop we make 2 sc.
In the third - *1 sc, 2 sc from one loop*
Fourth row - *2 sc, 2 sc from one loop*. Connecting post. Cut the thread longer and then use it to sew the eye to the body.
The pupils can be made from half beads (glued with glue) or, like ours, embroidered. To do this, take a needle and thread and tie a knot. We insert it from the wrong side to the front side, wind the thread around the needle about 10 turns and pull the needle out. Sew on the resulting structure. We tie a knot from the inside out.
Wings
Each wing consists of 7 parts of different lengths.
We insert the hook into the edge of the body approximately at the level where the eye ends. We hide the end of the thread again as we work. Knit 6 ch, then sc in the next loop. Then ch 9, sc, ch 12, sc, ch 20, sc, ch 12, sc, ch 9, sc, ch 6, sc. One wing is ready. We also knit the second wing.
We embroider the beak and paws using stitches using a needle and thread in the form of triangles.
To make the owl more elegant, we embroider its feathers in the form of white spots with stitches or glue half beads, at your discretion.

Knitting owl. Here's some inspiration for you!
Hat with owls. Knitted with knitting needles.
The hat is knitted from the bottom up. The eyes and beak are sewn on top of the finished product.
First, rib *knit 1, purl 1* 5 rows. Then we knit the owls in stockinette stitch, and around there will be a pattern in which knits and purls alternate, shifting by 1 stitch in each row.
We knit the “Owl” pattern according to the pattern. The pattern is very simple. Circular knitting pattern. The number of owls is at your discretion.
If you need a taller hat, knit several rows, alternating knit and purl stitches, like between owls.
We will decrease loops through a row in six places.
Another very simple hat with an owl.
This hat is knitted from the bottom up. You can knit in the round, or you can sew a back seam. First, 3-5 rows of the front stitch (lapel), then we move to the purl stitch, knitting the “Owl” pattern according to the pattern.
Cast off all stitches in one row. Sew. Make tassels at the ends of the seam.

How to knit ears? And the ears are an integral part of the head. Having knitted the last row (36 st.b.n.), we install a fastening for the mobility of the head, stuff it and sew it up. The seam is made across the entire head, corners are formed at the edges of the seam, these will be the ears. It is enough just to stitch, stepping back from the tip of the corner about 2-3 cm.
How is the tail knitted? Everything is simple with him too. We begin to knit the tail at the hole formed in the body, between the 15th and 16th rows. The first 2 rows are knitted in the round, then we stuff the body to the desired density, fold the tail hole in half, and knit the 3rd row over the edge, thus closing the hole. Next row 4 according to the pattern is imitation of feathers.
To make your head spin.
We use a mount, 2 discs and a cotter pin, as for teddy bears. For the large owl, I cut out disks from cardboard. You can also use a homemade fastening: 2 buttons, 2 disks made of cardboard (thick), tie it together with a strong thread, or you can use a hairpin.

32nd row - close the loops without tightening the fabric. We cut the thread and hide it.
Let's try on the dress! The number of increases can be reduced... look at your toy.
We take a needle with the same yarn and along the neck we sew a seam “forward with the needle”, but do not tighten it, do it very loosely. We put the dress on the owl and tighten the neck. We cut the thread and hide it.
Crochet dress from Vasilisa Vasiliev
First we knit the skirt:
1. Dial 72 v. p. and at 8 from the hook we knit a loop (this will be a loop for a button), then we knit a sc to the end of the row.
2. Next, in rotating rows. We do 2 v. p. lifting and again the whole row of sc.
3. 2nd century p. rise further sbn.
4. 2 c. sc to the end of the row we close the fabric in a circle and knit another 1 row of sc.
5. Next row We knit 2 sc in each loop.
6. Change the color of the thread and make 3 in. n rise and knit 5 dc 2 loops, skip into the next one, make 2 dc 1 in. p. 2 dc 2 loops skip 5 dc, thus knitting to the end of the row.
Similarly, we knit the next rows to the desired length of the skirt.
Next we knit the top of the dress and sleeves:
1. Attach the thread to the top of the skirt and knit it (measure the dress on your owl and, depending on where you sewed the wings, we make armholes like this)
Two ch, then 12 sc 15 ch skip 9 loops then 20 sc 15 ch skip 9 loops then sc to the end of the row.
2. 2nd century p. row sbn.
3. Two V p and sc to the end of the row at the end of the row we make 8 sts. p. we form another loop under the button.
Sleeves:
Where we made 15 ch for the armhole, attach a thread of a different color to the first loop and knit 3 ch in the 3rd loop from the hook, make dc 1 ch 2 dc, skip 2 ch into the next loop (2 dc 1 ch. p 2 dc skip 2 ch ) repeat until the end of the armhole, fasten the thread. We knit the second sleeve in the same way.
Owls in an unusual place.
Good afternoon friends!
Our needlewomen love to knit different owls, but I still wasn’t interested in this until I came across a charming owl pillow on the Internet. Well, yes, I can’t help myself when I see new, unusual, especially pillow ideas)).
But the whole point is that these crocheted owls - the patterns and descriptions of which I want to offer you - are very, very easy to make! In addition, all of them are not just toys, but are designed to create comfort, which just fits the theme of the blog.
I will show you different types knitted owls from small and flat to large and voluminous, but all these patterns can be interpreted into each other: using a small applique pattern, knit an owl toy, and turn a napkin into a pillow.
It's all about your desires and preferences.
By the way, why do we need owls? An owl is a symbol of wisdom; it brings wealth to the house, protects against evil spirits, and can be a kind of amulet. It is advisable to place the owl figurine next to, or even better, place three owls.
Crocheted owls in a border for the kitchen shelf
I'll start with a description of knitting an unusual border. You can crochet these owls to decorate a shelf in the kitchen or bathroom.
For a border measuring 13x64 cm, cotton yarn (75m/50g) is suitable.
You will need 50 grams of threads in blue, purple, orange, mustard, beige, white flowers and some black ones. Hook – 4.5.
First you need to separately knit 6 owls.
Crochet owl border pattern
Owl. We make a sliding loop with a purple thread and knit the first row of the circle with single crochets.
Second - fourth rows: single crochets with blue, orange and purple thread alternately.
In the fifth row: single crochets and ears made of 5 C1H using mustard-colored thread.
Eyes. Tie small circles with white thread in single crochets and sew to the body. Embroider the pupils.
Beak. Using mustard thread, we embroider stitches between the eyes, approximately 2.5 cm long.
Compound. Tie the longitudinal sides of the owls with beige thread (12C1H each) on both sides. The extreme owls only need to be tied internal sides. Connect the owls together with connectors.
Top edge. I attach a beige thread behind the ear of the 1st owl and knit a row with double crochets and another sc.
We tie the entire border around the perimeter with arches from 3VP.
Decor. Between the double crochets of the top row you can stretch threads, about 6 folded together, or satin braid.
Attach three-strand tassels between the owls of blue color 10 cm long.
Using the same pattern, you can knit cute owls for the kit -.
How to crochet an easy owl
This little owl crochet pattern is perfect for beginners.
After all, in essence, all that needs to be connected here is a circle.
How to crochet an owl
Torso. In the first row we knit 3VP and 11 C1H in a sliding loop.
In the 2nd row, we knit 2C1H into each loop of the previous row.
3rd row - like 2nd, i.e. 2C1H in each loop.
In the 4th row - single crochets.
Eyes. Circles made from single crochets (2-3 circular rows). Embroider eyelashes on the eyes with black thread and sew them to the body.
Beak– embroider.
Wings. Attach a thread to the side of the body at approximately the middle of the eyes and knit as follows:
4VP, 1С2Н, 2С1Н, half-column, 2СБН.
Ears. Just attach short threads - tassels.
This crocheted owl applique is so adorable! In this way you can make an owl keychain and a flat owl toy for the Christmas tree.
In order to do voluminous toy- owl, you need to knit another circle, connect it to the “face” and stuff it with holofiber.
Crochet napkin - owl
These crocheted owls in the form of napkins also delighted me. And the diagrams for them are detailed for every detail of the owl.
Torso
Eyes
I really like these eyes! Real bulging owl eyes!
The central part is knitted with a black thread using single crochets (12 loops).
Then a row of single crochets with thread white, we knit two stitches into each loop.
Another row of single crochet stitches in black (one stitch in each stitch of the previous row).
The next 2-3 rows are double crochet with white thread and the last row is tied with connecting stitches.
I write the approximate number of rows, because in the diagram it is one, but in the picture it seems to be different.
Beak
Yellow thread.
- 6S1N (1st should be replaced with three air loops)
- Above every two stitches of the previous row, unfinished double crochets, knitted together
- 3 unfinished double crochets together.
Paws
- Sliding loop or ring made of VP.
- 11 VP, connect them to the ring
- 13 VP – attach to the ring
- 11 VP – connect.
We sew all the details onto the owl’s body using napkins.
And this is my embodiment:
Pillow – crocheted owl
I found this cute big owl on etsy.com. It's up for sale there.
And we will figure out how to crochet an owl pillow. Schemes are not particularly needed here; we will partly use the schemes from the previous owl.
For the body, we will knit two large circles, connect them together and fill them with any suitable filler.
I would rather make the eyes like those of a napkin; we’ll also borrow the beak pattern from there.
Owl ears. Instead, the owl has braids - spirals with bows.
How to crochet a spiral
- We knit a chain of air loops of the required length.
- In each loop of the chain - three single crochets.
- We straighten it with our hands so that the spirals are placed in one direction, one after another.
For a bow, you can knit a small strip with single crochet stitches, fold it and tie it in the middle with threads.
Since ancient Greek times, the owl has been considered a symbol of wisdom, longevity, erudition and insightful mind. To date, the bird has not lost its mystical properties. On the contrary, the popularity of the owl as a mascot is only growing. It is believed that figurines in the form of an owl help to achieve high success in study and career, contribute to the preservation and exaggeration of material well-being, rationalize spending and protect against rash actions. In a word, an owl talisman should be present in every family. Let's create it with our own hands, and a master class on creating a crocheted owl with diagrams and descriptions will help us with this.
Amigurumi technique
The art of knitting small soft toys in the form of animals, birds or other animate creatures, mainly with crochet, is called amigurumi (from the Japanese “to knit”, “to wrap”). Amigurumi today is one of the most popular trends in knitting toys. Let's start making a wonderful hand-made amigurumi owl.
Before starting needlework, let's study the pattern and technique of knitting an amigurumi ring. For your convenience, a knitting pattern, as well as a video on how to create a ring, are presented below.
When crocheting, patterns are shown schematically, using symbols for loops and cuts. Such symbols and abbreviations for crocheting are presented in the diagram for your convenience.

We crochet the simplest voluminous owl step by step in a couple of minutes
To perform this work, arm yourself with a hook No. 3, yarn - 100 g, buttons for the eyes, filler, needle and thread.
Abbreviations:
- VP - air loop,
- RLS - single crochet,
- Dc - double crochet.
Take a thread of the main color, crochet 4 VPs, close it into a ring.
1st row: we knit 6 sc, then divide the circle into 6 wedges and in subsequent rows we add 6 sc evenly (Diagram 1.). So we knit 9 rows. In the 10th row you should get a circle of 54 stitches. From the 10th to 17th row: we do not increase, we continue to knit 54 stitches.
Row 18: we evenly decrease the stitches every 7 sc. We knit up to 22 rows without decreases.
Sew the eyes to the toy. They should be located approximately between rows 8 and 17 of the body. We continue to knit the main fabric.
Row 22: decrease 6 times every 6 columns. We should have 42 columns left. Rows 23 to 29: knit without decreasing. Row 29: make 6 decreases evenly, that is, every 5 stitches. Row 30: make 6 decreases evenly, every 4 stitches.
We fill the owl with filler.
From 31 to 32 rows: we knit without decreasing. From 33 to 36 rows: we make 6 decreases evenly in each row.
We cut the working thread and carefully sew the hole.
This simple method will be the beginning for further creativity.
Mobile phone case “wise owl”
The phone case is knitted quickly and easily. Knitting will take a maximum of 30 minutes, so you can knit covers of all colors and shades. And the most important thing is that the finished result is original decoration, which only you will have!
To crochet owls, select leftover yarn in a variety of interesting shades (purple, brown, yellow, pink). I will use pebbles instead of eyes, and a long button will do for the beak.
Colors– main thread color.
Colors B– color of head and wings.
Color C– contrasting colors.

Large DIY crocheted owl pillow
Knitting a pillow is a little more complicated, as it is knitted from small multi-colored 6- and 5-gonal motifs (mini napkin, so to speak).
Hexagonal motif
Video "how to knit an African hexagon"
5-corner motif
Video “how to knit an African pentagon flower”
If you want a large pillow, take thick threads, but we will weave an owl from thin yarn, so hook I take 1.15. The base is a white thread, then you can fantasize and choose shades as desired.
The result is such a bright hexagonal circle, approximately 7 cm in diameter.
You should end up with 10 pentagons, 17 hexagons and 2 hexagons per eye. A pentagon above the eyes (forehead), below the eyes (where the beak is), between the ears at the back, and 7 pieces side-down-side. You can make a beak and small wings (but this is at your discretion).
When all the details are ready, carefully sew all the motifs together, fill them with filler and enjoy your handmade work. This pillow is suitable for a bedroom, a nursery and even a living room.

How to crochet an owl hat and scarf set
A fun animal hat for a child with an owl in the lead role. So let's start creating a fun kit.
Head circumference: 53 cm
Materials:
- 100 grams of wool yarn (choose your own colors). The author took blue, gray, green and orange thread.
- hook No. 3,
- two buttons for eyes.
Crocheted hat - diagram and description:
The product is knitted in the round, starting from the bottom of the hat: cast on 5 chain stitches with gray thread and close it in a circle. Next knit like this:
1st row: 10 tbsp s/n
2nd row: increase in each loop = 20 st s/n
3rd row: increase in each = 40 st. s/n
4th row: without increases = 40 st s/n
5 row: increase in every second stitch = 60 st s/n
6th row: without increases = 60 st s/n
7 row: increase in every second loop = 90 st s/n
Tie the ears at the bottom of the hat:
1st row: 18 loops
From the 2nd row to the end, decrease one loop in each row on both sides of the row. Once the hat itself is knitted, tie it around the bottom in single crochets with green thread.
Tie braids are made like this: take threads of 3 colors, each in 3-6 folds (depending on how thick you want to make the braids), thread them through the 2 lower double crochets and braid them into regular braids.
Owl ears: cast on 24 chain stitches with blue thread and close in a circle.
1st row: st s/n
2nd row: Decrease loop, 8 st s/n, decrease loop, decrease loop, 8 st s/n, decrease loop
3rd row: decreasing a loop, 6 treble s/n, decreasing a loop, decreasing a loop, 6 treble s/n, decreasing a loop and so on until the tips of the ears.
Tassels on the ears are made in the same way as pigtails.
Eyes: Cast on 4 chain stitches with green thread and close in a circle.
1st row: 13 st. s/n.
2nd row: increase in each loop = 26 loops.
3rd row: go to the white thread. The increase in each loop is 52 loops.
4th row: all with b/n.
Sew buttons-pupils in the corners of the eyes so that the look is slanted, like an owl.
Beak: cast on 8 chain stitches with orange thread. In each subsequent row, decrease 1 stitch at the beginning and end of the row. When all the details are ready, sew them onto the hat.
Scarf: cast on 30 chain stitches and knit with double crochets, changing the color of the thread every 2 rows. At the end of the work, cut off the interfering threads and thread them. Tie the scarf in a circle with single crochets using green thread. The length of the scarf was approximately 1 m.

Lumigurumi - a figurine made from rubber bands

Owls are a symbol of wisdom, they are now popular with children, they are so cute. Since there are a great many of them, we will consider not one, but several types at once.
We invite you to learn how to crochet an owl with amigurumi, the article is aimed at beginners or beginners with diagrams, descriptions, master classes, videos and photos.
The simplest owl can be knitted quickly in literally 20-30 minutes with an already decorated muzzle and an embroidered beak.
As in the photo, this is a keychain option that is perfect for a handbag, phone, keys, and also as a gift for a child.
Have you already decided which one you want to knit? A voluminous and soft amigurumi or a small keychain, or maybe you want a hat or phone case in the shape of an owl or an applique?
It will not be clear to crochet an owl without an exact definition of what kind it is, so even before you start knitting, decide whether you want a palm-sized toy or a phone case; even the most beginners will have enough patience for this.
But a hat or a large toy is for more experienced craftswomen.
Let's look at what other owls there are.
They come in different sizes, voluminous and flat, which allows them to become both a patch on mittens and socks, and a separate toy, a keychain for a phone or keys, which has a useful secret.
A patch or applique is an owlet, which takes 5 minutes to knit; decorating and sewing on eyes and paws takes another 10-15 minutes.
Pay attention to the photo, there are 4 options for owls. The first one is flat, the rest amigurumi toys voluminous, 3 third photo is an owlet with a Kinder capsule inside, the rest are soft.
Which one to choose?
If you are a beginner or a novice, then start with stripes; voluminous owls are already for those who have mastered 2-3 types of basic loops. How to crochet an owl for beginners, the easiest way is the flat version in the form of stripes, they are presented in video format.
If you decide to decorate a case or an owl, we suggest you crochet flowers using master classes for beginners, which are available at the link.

A cap
For those who have already figured out how to knit an owl, namely the eyes and beak, we suggest knitting a hat for girls and boys. Step-by-step instruction knitting hats:
- Take measurements.
- Calculation of the bottom and number of rows, as well as depth.
- Choose threads and a hook depending on the model of the hat; for summer it is cotton (Begonia, Lilu, Azalea, COCO) for autumn - spring acrylic (YarnArt “Baby”, Alize) or cotton (jeans) is suitable.
- Link a sample for calculation.
- Watch the video and description to understand what kind of hat you want to receive. The model can fit tightly to the head and follow the contours, or it can resemble a cup or be a cap without a tight fit.
- Understand knitting loops and start knitting.
There is a separate section about measurements and calculations, where diagrams are given and described, as well as recommendations for knitting different patterns.
Look and make a calculation, based on the results of these calculations we will begin to knit a hat. According to the diagram, choose which stitches you will knit with. The videos below are of hats knitted with double crochets.
We invite you to knit a simple owl hat, for this we will consider it in detail. The very basis of the hat is a cap, the eyes are large circles, the nose is a triangle, ears with tassels, ties and ears covering your child’s ears.
A hat made of 2 contrasting colors looks more impressive.
Step by step description:
- We make an amigurumi ring, knit the 1st loop into the ring, then 3 ch and 11 dc into the ring. We tighten the ring. Connecting loop with 1СН for closing the circle. (12p).
- 3VP, in each loop 2DC (increase by one base), SS (connecting post) (24 sts).
- 3VP, Increase dc in the same base, dc, 2dc (increase in one base) alternate until the end of the row), SS (36 sts).
- 3VP, Increase dc in the same base, 2 dc, 2 dc (increase in one base) so we alternate until the end of the row, SS (48 sts).
- 3VP, Increase dc in the same base, 3dc, in the next loop 2dc (increase by one base), 3dc, 2dc (increase by one base) so we alternate until the end of the row, ss (60p).
- 3VP, Increase dc in the same base, 4dc, in the next loop 2dc (increase by one base), 4dc, 2dc (increase by one base) so we alternate until the end of the row SS (72p).
- We further knit the desired depth of the cap without any increments. We recommend trying it on a child or a model.
The diameter of the cap is 11.5 cm. Which one do you need? Compare with your calculations.
If you need a larger head volume, then continue adding loops.
The approximate calculation is OG/ 3.14 = Bottom diameter + 1 cm for a looser fit if the threads do not stretch and -1 cm if the yarn stretches a lot.
Example: OG 50 cm, then 50/3.14 = 15.92 cm bottom diameter. When you have knitted the required volume, continue knitting like this:
Ears for a hat
We count the number of columns in your header and divide this number by 5. We distribute them like this:
Front part - 2 parts - 34 loops, side parts 1 each and back of the head - 17 loops.
It is necessary to mark with markers or thread of a different contrasting color.
- Now, in the place where the eye will be, insert a hook where the beginning will be and pull out the working thread. We knit 3VP, we knit to the end of the row of dc. (17p)
- 2VP, in the second braid, Dc (it turns out 2Dc with the 1st vertex - this is a decrease), at the end of the row on the last 2 loops there is also a Decrease - 1 braid from 2 stitches. (15p).
- 2VP, in the second braid, Dc (it turns out 2Dc with the 1st vertex - this is a decrease), at the end of the row on the last 2 loops there is also a Decrease - 1 braid from 2 stitches. (13p).
- 2VP, in the second braid, Dc (it turns out 2Dc with the 1st vertex - this is a decrease), at the end of the row on the last 2 loops there is also a Decrease - 1 braid from 2 stitches. (11p).
- 2VP, in the second braid, Dc (it turns out 2Dc with the 1st vertex - this is a decrease), at the end of the row on the last 2 loops there is also a Decrease - 1 braid from 2 stitches. (9p).
- 2VP, in the second braid, Dc (it turns out 2Dc with the 1st vertex - this is a decrease), at the end of the row on the last 2 loops there is also a Decrease - 1 braid from 2 stitches. (7p).
- 2VP, in the second braid, Dc (it turns out 2Dc with the 1st vertex - this is a decrease), at the end of the row on the last 2 loops there is also a Decrease - 1 braid from 2 stitches. We finish knitting by cutting the thread and pulling it out. (5p).
We knit the second ear in the same way. Tie the entire cap with half-stitches or single crochets.
