Assembly

Before you sew the head make sure you have placed your white eye circles and attached the back of the washers to the eyes. (making sure you stuff the head when you do this).

Than if you choose place on the pink brads. Than sew the body and head together. Than sew the wings onto the body.

Pin the horns and beak on and sew them to the head. Than take some of the teal yarn and embrodier a little bow on the head.

Stage 1. Taurus.

We knit from Nako Paris yarn, hook number 3.

1 row: we draw a chain of 19 CH + 1 CH, from the second loop from the hook we knit along the chain 18 SC, into the last loop 3 SC, 18 SC on the other side of the chain from CH, 2 SC into the last loop, SL-ST (42)

2 row: CH, SC in the same loop, 18 SC, 3 İNC, 18 SC, 2 İNC, SL-ST (48)

3 row: CH, SC in the same loop, SC, 18 SC, (İNC, SC) * 3, 18 SC, (İNC, SC) * 2, SL-ST (54)

Next, SL-ST at the end of the row do not do, we knit in a spiral.

4 – 23 (20 rows): 54 SC (54)

24 row: (7 SC, DEC) * 6 (48)

25 row: 48 SC (48)

26 row: (6 SC, DEC) * 6 (42)

27 row: 42 SC (42)

28 row: 3 SC, İNC, (6 SC, İNC) * 5, 3 SC (48)

29 row: (7 SC, İNC) * 6 (54)

30 row: 4 SC, İNC, (8 SC, İNC) * 5, 4 SC (60)

31 row: (9 SC, İNC) * 6 (66)

32 row: 5 SC, İNC, (10 SC, İNC) * 5, 5 SC (72)

33 row: (11 SC, İNC) * 6 (78)

34 – 53 (20 rows): 78 SC (78)

We do not cut the thread yet.

We turn the canvas inside out, because it is more fluffy there (at will) and put aside for a while.

Step 2. Legs.

We take a wire with a diameter of 2 mm and a length of about 60 cm and make a leg blank according to the scheme (see photo 1). Then we smear the finger with glue and wrap it tightly with brown (or black) strings. Thus, we wind all 4 fingers and the leg itself to a height of about 6 – 7 cm, and fix the ends of the thread with glue. We do the second leg in the same way.

We insert the finished legs into the previously knitted little body in the first row of knitting from the bottom, stepping back from the edges of 2 cm. We adjust the legs to the desired height, it can be from 3 to 6 cm, and fix the tape inside the body with tape, wrapping it with a thick layer on the leg (see photo ) We twist the wire from the legs together, isolate. After that, we stuff the body with the filler. We connect the upper edges of the body SL-ST (see photo), fasten the thread, cut it off.

Stage 3. Wings and tail.

WINGS (2 pcs.)

We knit from the same threads as the body, in rotary rows.

1 row: dial 2 CH, in the second loop we knit 2 SC, CH, turn (2)

2 row: 2 İNC, CH, turn (4)

3 row: İNC, 2 SC, İNC, CH, turn (6)

4 row: İNC, 4 SC, İNC, CH, turn (8)

5 row: İNC, 6 SC, İNC, CH, turn (10)

6 row: İNC, 8 SC, İNC, CH, turn (12)

7 – 11 (5 rows): 12 SC, CH, turn (12)

12 row: DEC, 8 SC, DEC, CH, turn (10)

13 row: DEC, 6 SC, DEC, CH, turn (8)

14 row: DEC, 4 SC, DEC (6)

We fix the thread, leave the end for sewing the wing, cut it off.

We knit the second wing in the same way.

Sew the wings on the sides of the body, retreating about 3 rows of SC from the neck.

TAIL.

We knit from the same threads as the body, in rotary rows.

1 row: we draw a chain of 11 CH, from the second from the loop hook we knit along the chain 10 SC, CH, turn (10)

2 – 4 (3 rows): 10 SC, CH, turn (10)

5 row: DEC, 6 SC, DEC, CH, turn (8)

6 – 10 (5 rows): 8 SC, CH, turn (8)

In the 10th row, do not cut the thread, continue to tie the tail:

first we knit SC along the side of the tail, then 2 SC to the bottom corner, 5 DC to the next loop along the bottom of the tail, SC skip, SC, SC skip, 5 DC to the next loop, SC skip, SC, 5 DC to the next loop, 2 SC in the lower corner of the tail, then again we knit SC along the side of the tail to the upper corner.

We fix the thread, leave the end for sewing the tail, cut off.

Sew the tail in the center back.

Step 4. Design.

EYES.

We cut out 2 white blanks for eyes with a size of white (3 * 4) * 3 cm from white felt. We make small cuts in the center of the blanks with scissors. Insert blue (or any other) pupil eyes with a diameter of 25 mm into the incisions. Glue the pupils to the felt detail of the eyes with super-glue. Glue false eyelashes over the felt part of the eyes.

Ready eyes try on an owl on his head, placing them in the 17th row from the top row of knitting. The distance between the eyes can be made as you like. We glue the eyes with transparent super-glue to the head. We make tinting around the eyes with brown dry pastel (optional).

BEAK.

Option 1. Made of polymer clay.

We sculpt the beak from polymer clay of yellow, orange or brown color. I got a beak in the form of an equilateral triangle with sides of about 1 cm. You can make a beak of any size as desired. The reverse side of a thick needle makes two holes on top of the beak that mimic the nostrils. We bake the finished beak according to the instructions, let it cool and glue it between the eyes with super-glue.

Option 2. Knitted beak.

We knit yellow, orange or brown threads (optional). I took yarn with a density of 150m / 50g, hook number 2.

1 row: we dial 2 CH, in the second from the hook we knit a loop 2 SC, CH, turn (2)

2 row: 2 İNC, CH, turn (4)

3 row: İNC, 2 SC, İNC (6)

We do not cut the thread, we tie the beak along the SL-ST contour, then we fix and thread the thread.

We sew the knitted beak with black threads in small stitches in places where the nostrils are located.

After the owl is completely ready, comb it with Velcro or scallop with rare cloves.

Stage 5. Clothing.

CAP.

First, we knit the bottom elastic for the cap with white threads.

1 row: we collect 4 CH + 1 CH, from the second from the hook of the loop we knit 4 SC, CH, turn (4)

2 – 54 (53 rows): per

We do not cut the thread, we connect the edges of the elastic: 4 SL-ST for both half loops.

We continue knitting, we tie a rubber band on top of SC.

1 row: 54 SC (54) and then we knit in a spiral.

2 – 3 row: 54 SC (54)

Change the thread color to turquoise (optional).

Note! If you want to knit a striped cap, like me, then change the thread color every 4 rows of white and 3 rows of turquoise.

4 row: (7 SC, DEC) * 6 (48)

5 – 7 (3 rows): 48 SC (48)

8 row: (6 SC, DEC) * 6 (42)

9 – 11 (3 rows): 42 SC (42)

12 row: (5 SC, DEC) * 6 (36)

13 – 15 (3 rows): 36 SC (36)

16 row: (4 SC, DEC) * 6 (30)

17 – 20 (4 rows): 30 SC (30)

21 row: (3 SC, DEC) * 6 (24)

22 – 25 (4 rows): 24 SC (24)

26 row: (2 SC, DEC) * 6 (18)

27 – 30 (4 rows): 18 SC (18)

31 row: (SC, DEC) * 6 (12)

32 – 35 (4 rows): 12 SC (12)

36 row: 6 DEC (6)

We tighten the remaining hole, fasten the thread, cut it off.

Sew on top of the cap pompom, decorate the cap with buttons or other decorative elements (optional).

SCARF.

Knit with white threads.

1 row: we dial 150 CH + 2 CH, with the third from the hook of the loop we knit 150 DC, CH, turn (150)

Change the thread to turquoise (optional).

2 row: 2 CH, 149 DC, CH, turn (150)

Change the thread to white.

3 row: 2 CH, 149 DC (149)

We fix the thread, cut it off.

The ends of the scarf are decorated with pompons or fringe (optional).

We put the cap and scarf on the owlet.

Feet x2:

yellow, e.g. sun

I found a great video tutorial on youtube that shows how to make the talons, I

personally much preferred using this technique to making individual tallons (or

fingers) and than sewing these togther. You can find the video here (click) Be sure to

adjust the stitch count to my pattern. :o)

1. MR mit 6sc (6)

2.-5. [4 Rounds] sc in each st (6)

6. (sc, inc) x3 (9)

7. sc in each st (9)

8. (sc 2, inc) x3 (12)

9. (sc 3, inc) x3 (15)

10.(sc 4, inc) x3 (18)

You will now work the first talon:

11. a) 2sc, insert hook into next stitch and then into

16th stitch (3rd stitch from end of round) finish

1sc, turn your work, insert hook again into 16th

stitch (this time you are ONLY working in this one

stitch) work 1 sc, 2sc (6)

12.a) -16. a) [5 Rows] sc in each st (6) – you are

continuing 30 sc all around

Fasten off, cut yarn but do not close yet.

Turn your work so that the previously worked talon is to the right, your usual

working direction. Repeat the steps for the 1st talon. Insert your hook into the last

stitch of the first talon, yarn over and pull through..

b) 1sc into next st, 1sc, insert hook into next sc AND 13th sc (6th sc from end of

round), complete sc, turn your work, insert hook again into 13th stitch (this time you

are ONLY working in this one stitch) work 1 sc, 2sc (6)

13.b) – 17. b) [6 Rows] sc in each st (6) – – you are continuing 36 sc all around

Fasten off, cut yarn but do not close yet.

Both talons are on the right side of your work. Insert your hook again into the last

stitch of the 2nd talon, yarn over, pull through. As this is the last talon, there are no

special instructions for this part.

11. c) – 16. c) [6 Rows] sc in each st (6) – you are continuing 36 sc all around

Fasten off, cut yarn.

Insert pipe cleaners into each talon, starting with the middle one. I fold the end over

and twist the end tightly to make sure no sharp ends poke through. Repeat with the

other talons and close up. Thread a darning needle with the tail and pick up the front

loops of each stitch only, pull the end to close up, insert remaining tail back through

the opening and hide inside the talon.

Leg (2x):

Colour of choice A, e.g. silver (main colour of owl)

1. MR – 6sc (6)

2. inc x6 (12)

3. in backloop only: sc in each st (12)

4. (sc 3, inc) (15)

5. sc in each st (15)

Fasten off, leave long tail for sewing.

Sew foot to leg..

Wings (2x):

Colour of choice B, e.g. stone (contrast colour of

owl)

1. MR – 6sc (6)

2. Inc x6 (12)

3. (sc, inc) x6 (18)

18. sc in each st (33)

19.(sc 9, dec) x3 (30)

20. sc in each st (30)

Next you will work the feathers, following the same principle as for the talons.

Firstly, the small feather:

21. a) 3sc, insert hook into next sc and 27th stitch (4th stitch from the end of the

round) work 1 sc, turn and insert hook again into 27th stitch (only this stitch this

time) and crochet 1 sc, 3sc (8)

22. a) – 26. a) [4 Rounds] sc in each st (8)

27.(sc 2, dec) x2 (6)

Fasten off, close (see instructions for the talons).

Next follows the middle feather. Insert hook in the last stitch of the previous feather,

pull yarn through:

21. b) 4sc, insert hook into next stitch and 22nd stitch and work 1 sc, turn work and

insert hook into 22nd stitch (only this stitch this time) and crochet 1sc, 4sc (10)

22. b) – 28. b) [7 Rounds] sc in each st (10)

29.(sc 3, dec) x2 (8)

Fasten off close (see instructions for the talons).

For the big feahter, insert the hook through the last stitch of the middle feather, pull

yarn through, then work:

21. c) – 32. c) [11 Rounds] sc in each st (12)

33.(sc 2, dec) x 3 (9)

34.(sc, dec) x 3 (6)

Fasten off, close (see instructions for the talons).

All the indiviual pieces for the owl are now finished and can be assembled. (Refer to

the following photos for help with placement. First, lay the feathers, with the picots

facing downwards, onto the head and body, pin initially and sew when you are

satisfied with your placement. Next, add the beak below the feathers on the face,

add the eyes and sew down once you are happy with how they look.. Use a small

amount of stuffing for the legs and sew them to the bottom of the body. If you are

making the accessories for the owl, pin the wings in place and sew them after the

teddy and candle holder have been finished and placed.

Hat:

Colour of choice C – hat colour (eg. creme)

Hook size 1.5mm larger than the other parts (for me 3.5mm) Measure and adjust the

hook size if needed to ensure a proper fit of the hat.

From here, increase in each round until you have a total of 48 stitches. It is best to

offset the increases, for tips on how to do this, please see www.zhaya.de and look in

the hints, tips and tutorial section.

Now continue as follows:
