This Baby Owl Cocoon with Owl Hat CROCHET PATTERN is of my own design and features my own originally designed version of a scale stitch, which gives the owl cocoon a fine, scaly textured appearance. I created this stitch because I wanted to achieve something that differed from the bulkiness of the crocodile stitch.

THIS IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT. THIS IS A CROCHET PATTERN ONLY.

This is an intermediate level pattern and includes instructions for the following:

• A detailed photo tutorial on how to create my scale stitch design
• Owl Cocoon using my scale stitch
• Owl Hat with ruffle-rimmed eyes, owl beak and tasseled ears appliques

More information about the design:

A - The wings are securely appliqued onto the front-sides and fold over the breast feathers in the center of the cocoon.

B - The breast feathers are worked in a continuous “striping” pattern around the front and back of the cocoon, which means when the cocoon is turned over, there is a stripe of orchid/melon/grey/white with solid orchid at the top and bottom. This makes the cocoon reversible, so both “winged” and “striped” sides could be utilized to change up the look.

I had a lot of fun creating this pattern and worked very hard to make it available for purchase. I’m excited to share it with others who also share an affinity for crochet, baby cocoons and owls! :)
