Turn a pile of yarn into the fluffiest, cutest Snowy Owl ever with this original pattern by Fat Lady Crochet! Perfect for crocheters who know their way around a hook and don’t mind some sewing, because this bird’s not building itself. The pattern is written in US terms, and I’ve packed it with photos so you’re never left guessing.
Materials:
200 grams Blanket or Velvet yarn in White
200 grams worsted weight yarn in White
Scrap bits of yarn in Black, Yellow, and Grey
Hooks: 6.00 mm (J) and 4.00 mm (G)
Tapestry needle
Fiber fill (stuff it like it’s Thanksgiving).
Stitch marker
Some Notes to Keep You Sane:
This is an easy pattern, but not a beginner pattern.
The body and head are worked together in one piece.
The body/head, wings and tail are worked using 1 strand blanket/velvet yarn and 1 strand worsted weight yarn held together.
The eyes are worked with one strand and a smaller hook.
This owl is built bottom-up in continuous rounds.
The wings, tail, and eyes are separate pieces you’ll sew on later. It’s like assembling an IKEA owl, but without the weird diagrams.
Finished size: roughly 9 inches tall
The Legal-ish Stuff:
This is a PDF crochet pattern, not the actual owl. If you were hoping for a ready-made owl, I’d suggest a pet store. Once you pay, you can download the pattern instantly (woohoo!). If you have trouble downloading, just message me. PDFs are like tattoos—no refunds, no take-backs.
Can I Sell My Finished Owls?
Absolutely! Sell ‘em at markets, online, or trade them for snacks. All I ask is you give me credit by tagging @fat.lady.crochet on Instagram and Fat Lady Crochet on Facebook. But no selling, publishing, or photocopying this pattern, okay? It’s my baby.
A Huge Thank You!
Thanks for supporting my small, Canadian, woman-owned business! When you buy this pattern, you’re helping me continue to bring crochet joy (and a little sass) to the world. Now grab your hook and show that yarn who’s boss.
Happy hooking! 🧶🦉
