Amigurumi: Cutest little owl

I’m always looking for some amigurumi patterns. When I found this one I knew I had to make one (I think I might make more than one ). Isn’t it the cutest owl?!?! Love he colors!

The pattern worked mostly. Couple of things I struggled with:

1. The head was not perfectly round. If you stare at it enough you’ll see that the top is pointed. I had to make sure that I didn’t fill it to the full or it would have looked very pointed at the top.

2. Like everything else in amigurumi, the white eye patched were worked in spirals as a result of it when you finish/end it, it’s not a complete circle. Maybe that is expected, just seemed weird to me.

Regardless of the issues, I still love how it turned out!

So I’ve been dabbling a little but into crochet these days. What I like about crochet as compared to sewing and papercrafting is that all I  need is a needle and yarn and I can do it anywhere, anytime! There are many times when I’m too tired to sit at a table and sew, or gather my papercrafting supplies and then I just pick my needle and yarn to crochet peacefully.

I found this bunny pattern on Happy Berry’s site. It was so much fun to make this! I still need to get better at sewing the limbs together and placing them right. The way it is right now, it can’t sit on it’s own. It needs some support. This was my first pattern where I switched colors mid-way. That was a good learning experience. I don’t have the safety eyes nor do I like the stitched eyes. Instead I use the googly eyes – which I’ve a lot of! I used a medium weight size 4 yarn with a 3.5mm crochet needle.
