1 LittleOwlsHut Crochet Pattern By Galina Stelmakhova Skill level: Easy About this pattern The toy is crocheted in continuous spirals without joining the rounds. You will need a stitch marker to keep track of where the beginning of each round starts. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the previous one. If you don't have a stitch marker you can always use a scrap of contrasting yarn instead. You can see it in my photos. I use USA terminology for my pattern (don t worry if you use UK terms, all the differences are explained in the pattern). Finished size Finished size approx. 14 cm (5.5 inches) tall using the materials stated in the pattern. Any yarn in skin and brown colors. I used Jeans by YARNART (55% cotton, 45% acrylic, 160m/50g). Brown fluffy yarn (see Gauge section to see if you choose the right yarn). Matching crochet hook (I used 1.75 mm approximately US 4, UK 2); Two black beads or half beads for the eyes (I used 5-6 mm in diameter) for the eyes of the doll. Alternatively you can embroider or crochet them instead in which case you will need a small amount of black color yarn. Any stuffing; Tapestry needle; Single core copper electrical wire I used approximately 50 cm (16.7 Doll in a Viking Monkey outfit Materials and tools inches) of wire 1.5 mm in diameter; Fabric tape 1 cm wide to work up the wire ends; Transparent glue; A piece of thick cardboard or plastic for the insoles; Red embroidery thread for the mouth; Wool for felting or yarn for the hair; Sewing pins. Happy crocheting!

2 LittleOwlsHut Crochet pattern 2018 Tip (make it right) If there are no special notes, the toy is crocheted under both parts of the loop. In some rows, there are special notes: into the front loop only or into the back loop only. In that case, you need to follow these instructions. Tip (make it right) When making toys the right side looks like this: And the backside looks like this: Abbreviations ch(s) = chain(s) st(s) = stitch(es) sl st = slip stitch sc(s) = single crochet(s) inc(s) = increase(s) (2 sc in 1 st) tr = treble (triple) crochet dec(s) = decrease(s) (2 sc together) Rnd = round TIP (yarn and wire) If you use different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn and wire). If you decide to use thicker yarn you should buy thicker wire as well. The thicker your yarn the taller the toy will be. If there is a record in the brackets in the pattern, multiplied by some number, for example (3 sc, 1 inc) x 3, it means you need to repeat this action 3 times, that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc. Tip (gauge) When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than recommended for the yarn you choose. Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show through the holes.
