Bottom
Form ring
Rnd 1-- 6 sc in center of ring
Rnd 2-- (3 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc) 2 times (10 sc total)
Rnd 3-- (2 sc in next sc, 3 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc) 2 times (18 sc total)

Fasten off, weave in ends

Wings
ch 5
sl st in first ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, 4 hdc in last ch.
On opposite side work hdc in next ch, sc in next ch, sl st in next ch.  Sl st to beginning.
Fasten off, weave in ends.
*Attach to sides of body.

Eyes
Form ring
8 sc in center. Fasten off, weave in ends.
*Sew on beads to the center of each eye.

Finishing and Assembly
*For the tassels on the top of the body I took a singe piece of yarn and threaded it around a stitch.  I tied a couple knots to secure it there then trimmed the pieces of yarn.
*For the fabric center, free hand cut your shape to fit the body how you like.  Use your needle and thread to sew it onto the front of the owl's body.
*Attach the bottom piece to the body with your thread and needle.  When you get about 3/4 of the way around stuff your owl and finish sewing.
*Cut a small triangle shape from your yellow felt and hot glue over your fabric at the top of the body. 
*Hot glue your eyes on just above the beak.
Wooooo HOOOOO you're done!
I hope if you can crochet you like the pattern.  Remember I am no pro and I don't know the exact way to write a pattern.  I hope it all makes sense and there are no errors.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Twinkle Star-- A Crochet Pattern

 This cute star pattern is super easy and fast to make.  I thought I would share. This is my first time writing a pattern for someone other than myself so I hope it makes sense.  Enjoy!

Worsted Weight Yarn
  • Chain 3  Join with sl st to first chain to form a circle.
  • Chain 2 (count as 1st hdc).  9 hdc in center. Join with sl st to first  hdc.
  • (Chain 5 sl st in 2nd chain from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in last ch.  Skip one hdc, sl st in next hdc).  Repeat 4 more times and finish off with a sl st into the bottom of your first point.
