This listing is for my little amigurumi owl Octavia. It’s a fun crochet project for improving beginners as well as seasoned crocheters!

She lives in the enchanted forest and likes doing the usual owl stuff, like catching mice, hooting, blending into trees, and sleeping through the day.
Sometimes she joins her friend Meja the healer on her early morning walks before heading to bed in her favorite tree.
I’m sure she will make a fun little addition to your Amigurumi collection.

The pattern has detailed step-by-step instructions that are accompanied with high quality photos of the process.
It includes photo tutorials on how to make a magic ring, invisible decreases in single crochet, and invisible finishes.

The owl is crocheted from head to tail. The face and wings are sewn on with a few stitches. The yellow circles and the bill are embroidered.
The feet are bent with craft wire. This works best with small pliers, eg for jewelry making. Alternatively you could use pipe cleaner for them.

This listing also includes an add-on pattern on how to crochet Sage the snowy owl (the white owl in the first picture), in case you’d like to crochet Octavia an Arctic friend.

Materials and tools you need:

  • Yarn in a DK / light worsted weight brown-cream and cream or beige I used Scheepjes Stone Washed in Brown Agate (822) and Scheepjes Catona in Linen (505)
  • For Sage the snowy owl: Yarn in a DK / light worsted weight in white I used Scheepjes Catona in Snow White (106) and white fluffy DK / light worsted weight yarn I used Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake DK in Milky (630)
  • 2.5mm crochet hook / Size B-1 or C-2 depending on how tightly you crochet
  • Black and yellow embroidery floss
  • 5mm safety eyes
  • Fiberfill
  • Large eyed sewing needle
  • Stitch markers
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors
  • Golden or brass colored raft wire (at least 1mm diameter)

If using the recommended yarn weight and hook size your owl will be 6.5cm / 2.5” tall from head to tail feathers.
