Special Stitch
Explanation
Invdec
Insert hook into front loop only of first stitch, do not wrap yarn, insert hook into front loop only of next
stitch. You will now have a total of three loops on your hook. Wrap your yarn around hook and pull through
both of the 2 front loops on the hook, wrap yarn around hook again and pull through last 2 loops on hook.
Gauge
(Tension)
Exact gauge is not crucial for this pattern. Just make sure your crochet hook is small enough to create a
tight fabric that the stuffing can’t poke through.
With the yarn and hook specified, owls measure approx. 3” (8 cm) tall. Nest measures approx. 9” (22cm)
diameter.
Miscellaneous
Tip for the eyes: Use 12 mm clear safety eyes and color in the backs with permanent markers such as
Sharpie pens. You can now have a multitude of beautiful colors to match your owls exactly!
