Designed for beginners, this charming crochet pattern by Johanna Harjula invites you to bring a flock of adorable owls to life. Whether you’re adorning your keyring with these feathered buddies or gifting them to your friends, they will capture many hearts!
Yarn, Hook, and Supplies You’ll Need
Ready to crochet your own little owl? Its compact size allows for speedy completion, especially if you have the right set of supplies. Here is what you will need:
- fingering yarn (you can use other weights, but this will impact the owl’s final size)
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- 7 mm safety eyes
- two small pieces of white felt for the eyes and glue
- some fiberfill (yarn scraps will do, too)
This crochet owl keychain is perfect for using up leftover yarn from your stash. The samples presented in the photos were made with Sandnes Garn Sisu.
How Big Is the Finished Owl Keychain?
The finished size of your owl depends on the weight yarn and the crochet hook that you use. If you work this project with the recommended supplies, you will get a cute miniature owl amigurumi that can serve as an enchanting keychain, a precious toy, or a last-minute gift.
How to Crochet Your Tiny Owl
The little owl crochet pattern is perfect for beginners, offering a quick introduction to the most basic amigurumi techniques.
The owl is crocheted in rounds using single crochets along with increases and decreases that give the amigurumi the proper shape. Then you work the wings separately and sew them to the body. Don’t forget to stuff your owl with fiberfill before stitching it up.
Customize Your Owl Amigurumi
Once the owl has its body and wings assembled, the true fun begins! It’s time you play around with its design, adding some finishing touches.
For a polished look, use a pair of safety eyes and two small circles of white felt to create the owl’s distinctive face. You can also embroider the eyes if you like a simpler handmade look, or you want to give it to a small child.
To personalize your little owl, consider adding a cute little bow or flower applique. These small details will add some girly charm to your keychain!
