Tiny Crochet Owl Pattern
I absolutely love a tiny crochet project. My latest design, this miniature crochet owl, is one of my smallest yet, and I’m really pleased with how it came out.
I’ve managed to pack in a fair amount of detail despite the smaller stature, and I think it goes really well with the slightly mottled brown yarn that I chose.

The Feather Markings
Use your white yarn to make feather markings onto the body with the yarn needle. It looks best as a random series of small and large V shapes sewn into the body.
Eye Patches
The eye patches will be made separately using the white yarn.
Round 1
Make a magic circle of six stitches (6)
Round 2
2sc x 4 (10)
Make two eye patches, then flip one over and hide the ends. Sew them together at the points.
Place onto the head and insert safety eyes through the white piece.
Now you can sew the base of the body together with your yarn needle and brown yarn.
Beak
Use your orange yarn for the beak. Make a magic circle of five stitches, then make 1sc into each stitch and sew at the bottom center of the eye patches.
The Ears
The ears will be made using your brown yarn.
Round 1
Make a magic circle of five stitches (5)
Round 2
1sc x 5 (5)
Round 3
2sc x 3 (8)
Now flatten the ears and sew round three onto the top side of the head.
Wings
The wings will also be made in brown yarn.
Round 1
Make a magic circle of six stitches (6)
Round 2 – 3
1sc x 6
Round 4
2sc x 6 (12)
Round 5
(1sc, 2sc) x 6 (18)
Round 6
Single crochet the sides of the wings together.
Leaving the curved edge to create the top line of the wings, sew them onto the sides of the body.
