Ulvi Owl

Uses: For those smitten by hand-made stuff, this adorable, fluffy, popcorn-stitch-bodied owl is an absolute delight. Its vivid looks can jazz up any room, adding an appealing and magical touch.

Materials:

• Fingering yarn
• 2.5mm crochet hook

Making: Starting with a magic ring (mr), the head is formed by a series of round crochet patterns. The rounds consist of single crochet (sc) stitches, increase (inc), and decrease (dec) operations, strategically distributed to create the shape of the owl’s head. The Ulvi Owl's eyes were made from chain stitches, forming a ring with double and single crochet stitches for roundness. The eyes are then beautified using color-crafting, and the safety eye is set in the center. Bristles made from strands of Colourcrafter form the distinctive look of the owl. Six feathers are created for each wing using loop stitches, which are then cut open to form the feather. Wings created by chaining stitches involve several rounds of single crochet stitches and increased operations, after which the feathers are attached. The feet, divided into small and larger toes, are attached to the body after stuffing.
