Skill level:
- beginner to slightly intermediate - (I listed all the skills required below, so if you’re a begginner and you’re willing to look up video tutorials of the stitches that you don’t know yet, I think you can totally do it^^
Or if you have any questions/ need help, feel free to reach out on any of my social media listed in the pattern, I’m always happy to help!)

Skills required:

  • magic ring - mgr
  • chain - ch
  • slip stitch - sl st
  • single crochet - sc
  • double crochet - dc
  • half double crochet - hdc
  • double crochet - dc and dcinc (same as an increase just with double crochet)
  • increase - inc and inc3 (3 stitches in one sc instead of the normal 2)
  • decrease - dec and dec3 (decreasing 3 stitches together instead of the normal 2)
  • color switching
  • working in back and front loops only

Size:
I used a 2.75mm sized hook and a thin(3ply) yarn, so my little owl turned out 4cm tall and 3cm wide, but you can use any hook size and a yarn that fits it, your plushie will just end up as a different size. The wideness also depends on your tension.

Tools and materials needed:

  • A crochet hook in any size (just make sure to use yarn that works with it)
  • A tapestry needle, or any needle big enough to sew yarn with
  • Yarn in the colors: orange, white, pink (or any color you choose, but the pattern will use these colors to indicate colorswitches)
  • Safety eyes
  • stuffing

Enjoy!
