Snowy Owlet (DIY) ~ Crochet

I am excited to share this pattern with ya'll!! These little owelts are about the size of a large orange, and are simple to make! Assembly can be time consuming, but its worth it when you have the finished little owlet in hand!!
Here is where to get the FREE pattern (yay!). Remember, it's crochet, not knit! So get out those hooks :)
I have been using Red Heart acrylic yarn for all of my owlets, with a size G hook, and of course, you WILL need a tapestry needle too, for sewing on the eyes, beak, face, and wings.
For a Barn Owlet, use 2 browns...one a dark rich brown, and the other a lighter brown...mix and match if you like!
For a Snow Owlet (above Photo), use cream/white and tan/cream for the owlet's face
For the beak, use orange or brown, its totally up to your creative desires
I stuff all of my stufties with wool scraps...Why? Because its can be shaped well, is waterproof, fire-resistant, slightly antibacterial, and you don't have those icky snynthetic polyfil poking out of all the crochet stitches!
IF you would like a bag of wool scraps from me, feel free to contact me and I can ship you one free (you just pay shipping!) Wool ships well since its so light, so think about $3 for a bag of scraps is enough to stuff 3 or 4 of these owlet babies ♥
Okay, have fun crafting, and I'd love to see photos of your creations!
