Bunny Mummy Crochet Owl – Tried and Tested

Bunny Mummy Owl FinishedI have found a fabulous Owl crochet pattern with a great photo tutorial over on Bunny Mummy’s Blog. The crochet owl was easy to make and I love him so much (he is already called Ollie) that I couldn’t wait to share some photos with you.

Although the pattern is written in US terms, Bunny Mummy gives you a helpful conversion guide for UK term hookers – this stitch summary chart might also help.

If you are after a cute little crochet owl of your own, pop over to Bunny Mummy’s blog to grab the pattern.

Just incase you are in need of any more encouragement here are a few photos of little Ollie’s creation.

The main body pieces have a Granny Circle at their heart.
