The yarn
I used cotton yarn from Hobbii for this pattern. The yarn is sponsored, but I am not getting paid to say it is a nice yarn to work with!
I used a 2,5 mm crochet hook, but if you want a different size, you can choose a bigger hook and a thicker yarn. I also want to make a bigger one and use thick yarn. That would be fun. I’ll keep you posted.
About the pattern
All the parts on the crochet owl are made separately, The most advanced part is the wings, and I will make a video tutorial for that part.
As mentioned above, you can easily change the yarn and hook size to adjust it.
