Owlet

This summer while cleaning and packing up my husband's Grandmother's estate we split up her owl collection. Some came with her up to her new apartment, and the rest got split between her daughters then us grand kids. The one piece I was sure would be snapped up wasn't, I got it without a fight.

Behold, the owl lamp!

I know it looks like it weighs a ton but it is super lightweight. I want to paint it some crazy color and put it in my studio but my husband likes it the way it is.

What you need:

3 colors of worsted weight yarn

Size F (3.75 mm) hook

Polyester fiber fill

Yarn needle

Clip to keep place

Scissors
2 beads

Eyes:

Beak:

Work in continuous rounds

• Chain 2
• Round 1: work 6 sc into first chain
• Round 2-3: sc in each sc around

Assembly:

First I made two tiny pompoms and sewed them to the top of the head.

To make owly eyes I worked 3 sc along the top of one eye.

Then I placed both eyes together and worked 2 sc through both eyes.
Slip stitched back to the top and worked 3 sc along the top of the other eyeball.

Sew eyes to head (I got lazy and glued them but I would not recommend this if you are giving this to a child). Attach beads to the centers of the eyes.

Place beak so it is slightly overlapped onto the eyes.

Make sure all ends are woven or tucked in and you are done with your little owlet.
