Small Owl

This document provides instructions for crocheting a small owl toy. It includes abbreviations for common crochet stitches used in the patterns. The instructions first have you crochet a white eye patch in 7 single crochet stitches. Then the beige body is worked in rounds, starting with 6 single crochet stitches and increasing up to 32 stitches over 5 rounds. Eyes are embroidered on either side of a stitch marker placed in the head. The body is then decreased back down to 20 stitches and the opening is sewn closed. Pink wings are made with 14 stitches worked in rounds. Yarn tails are used to create feet below the body.
