Night bird - owl. For many, it is associated with knowledge and wisdom. She always pleases children with her unusually large eyes. Therefore, you can always crochet the Owl toy. Moreover, technologies can be very different - from the simplest model, when the whole owl consists of one part, to very complex.

Simple Owl

To make it, you will need cotton yarn and a hook of the right size. In order for the Owl toy (crocheted) to acquire volume, any filler, such as cotton wool, is useful. For beautiful eyes, you will need black beads or small buttons. Although you can use floss threads and embroider pupils.

In the process of knitting there will be no transition to a new row, because amigurumi is knitted in a spiral. In order not to get confused in the loops, experienced craftswomen recommend using a marker for the beginning of the row. It can be a special ring or a piece of yarn in a contrasting color.

Owl main detail

In the amigurumi ring, knit 6 single crochets (then they will be called "columns").

In the first four circles, add 6 bars. Make it as even as possible.

The next seven rows are knitted without changing the number of columns. To make the toy with a mood, here you can alternate different shades of yarn. It will come out as if striped clothes. This is where the torso will end.

At the beginning of the next row, decrease one column. This is where the owl's head starts.

Knit 6 rounds without changing the number of loops. Add filler to the toy.

In the last row, the hole at the top of the toy is closed and ears are formed. To do this, you need to connect the two halves together and tie 6 columns through them. Then make one column by crocheting through the loops of the previous row, and again 6 columns.

Detail: eye

In the moving loop of the amigurumi, knit 11 double crochets, making three lifting loops. Fasten the thread and leave it so that you can sew the eye to the toy.

Detail: beak

On a chain of three air loops, tie 2 single crochets. In the second row, make them with a common top. The last row consists of a connecting column. This is the whole scheme (crocheted). The owl is almost ready.

It remains to connect all the details together. If you wish, you can tie a small loop and sew it to your head. Now you can hang the owl.

Complex owl body

Knit a ring of 4 air loops. In the first row, make 6 single crochets. In the second, at each top of the column, perform two of them. Then continueincrease the number of columns by six so that you get 6 identical wedges. There should be nine such rows with increasing.

The next eight rows do not need to increase. Then, just as evenly, you need to decrease 6 loops in one row. Three rounds of knitting continues with a straight fabric.

Next row: dec 6 more sts. Then 6 more circles without reducing the number of columns. Again, two rows of uniform decreases. Two circles: straight canvas. Fill the toy "Owl" (crocheted) with filler. 4 more rows: decrease by 6 loops. Fasten the thread and sew up the hole.

Complex owl: beak and eyes

Again make a chain of 4 loops and close it into a ring. In the first row of the beak of the Owl toy, crochet 4 single crochets. Then three rows should go an increase of two loops in each. Fasten the thread and fill the part with filler.

By analogy with the beak, you need to make two paws. Only increase in three loops, and then also reduce the number of columns. It is not necessary to stuff them very tightly so that you can bend the paws and put a toy on them. In the same way, it is supposed to make a ponytail. He will be the third fulcrum.

Owl eyes: circles. They knit like this:

• 4 loop ring;
• 6 single crochet;
• inc 6 sts on next 4 rows.

Sew a black bead or button into the center of such a circle to make the eye look like a real one. For greater realism, you can make another circle, but with a smaller diameter, from white threads. It will need to be placedbetween button and large circle.

Complex owl: wings and ears

Crochet an owl to continue the wing. It repeats the circle for the eye. Only increments need to be done by 4. And the number of circles should be increased by two. So it will become convex. It will seem that he has the volume necessary for the wing. It will be necessary to sew it to the body along the entire length. Under it, it is also desirable to add a filler.

Ear for toy "Owl" (crocheted) - knitting description:

• on a ring of 4 loops, perform 6 single crochets;
• increase two stitches in three rows in a row.

It remains to fasten the thread and sew flat ears to the owl's head.

Assembly recommendations: place the beak between the 15th and 19th rows of the body; fasten the eyes on the sides of it; ears sew to the crown.

Owl on Kinder Surprise Egg

Crochet an owl is simple, but it is very easy to please the baby with a novelty. First you need to make two halves per container from Kinder Surprise.

To do this, on a sliding loop of amigurumi, knit 10 single crochets with thin yarn. In the first row, increase by 5 loops. Do the same for the second and third rounds.

Further, the scheme (the owl knits with a crochet, we repeat, it’s easy) is somewhat modified. You need to make an increase of 7 columns. Then knitting goes in a straight line until the part reaches the junction of the two halves of the container.

In the same way, tie the head for a toy"Owl" (crocheted). Description of the remaining parts is not required, because detailed diagrams are given for them. Sew all the details in the right places. You can sew a loop and hang a toy on a Christmas tree or make a cute keychain.
