EMBROIDER STARS • NIGHT OWL ONLY

Embroider the stars using lightweight yellow yarn. I’m using the same yarn as the eye circles. Thread your embroidery needle with 30 inches of yarn. Double knot end. To embroider stars, remember how to draw a five point star and mimic it with your embroidery needle.

1. Flatten owl’s body with incs from rnd 10 at each side. Place sewing pins to mark embroidery space. Top pin is on rnd 16 & side pins have 12 sts between them.

2. Bring threaded embroidery needle through a st.

3. Insert needle into st 3 rnds above and to the right 1-2 sts.

4. Bring needle up through st on same rnd as 1st bottom point with 1-2 sts between points.

6. Bring needle up through st on rnd below top point, 1-2 sts away from the thread. Bring it across the star to other side.

7. Bring needle up through bottom right point and connect to top left point.

8. Bring needle up through bottom left point and connect to top right point.

9. Repeat steps to embroider a total of 5 or 6 stars within the marked embroidery space.

rnd 2: Inc 7 (14 sts)
rnd 3 (partial rnd): [sc 1, inc 1] 4 times, sl st 1 (18 sts)
Fasten off, leaving a 10-inch tail for attaching. See embroidery photos and attaching tutorial below.

EMBROIDERING & ATTACHING EYES

You’ll now be embroidering and attaching the owl’s eyes. The key to embroidering on crochet is to make sure to insert your needle through your stitches and not in a hole between stitches so your thread remains secure. With black embroidery thread and needle, embroider eyes on eye circles. For sleepy eyes, make sure eye circle’s yarn tail is on the right and for happy eyes the tail is on the left. Embroider eyes on rnd 2 and eyelashes on rnd 3 of eye circle.

1. Using sewing pins, position eyes over rnds 8-13 with 3 sts between eyes.

2. Thread tapestry needle with yarn tail and insert needle under a st. Make sure to align the stitch correctly so the eye embroidery is level.

3. Insert needle through next st on eye circle from back to front. Then insert needle under st on body. Repeat around eye until fully attached.

WING • MAKE 2

row 1: (WS) Using wing color, start with a magic ring, sc 4 into ring (4 sts)
row 2: (RS) Ch 1, turn, inc 4 (8 sts)
row 3: Ch 1, turn, [inc 1, sc 1] 4 times (12 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a 15-inch tail for attaching to body. See attaching tutorial below.

A. Red dots show where to place the sc stitches for row 6.

ATTACHING WINGS

1. Using sewing pin, position wing with top over rnd 14 with RS facing out (you should see the back of rows 5 & 6 for the wing to lay flat). The red dots show the stitches I attached. I attached my wing at a slight angle.

2. You’ll need to thread the yarn tail up to the top of the wing for the right wing so that it’s in the correct spot for attaching.

3. Insert tapestry needle under st above rnd 14.

4. Insert needle through next st on wing from back to front.

5. Insert needle under st on body. Repeat steps 4-5 until you’ve attached the wing. To get to the other side of wing, just carry yarn tail through body to other side.

6. The finished wing. After attaching last wing, use remaining yarn tail to embroider beak. See tutorial below.

EMBROIDERING THE BEAK

1. Bring wing’s yarn tail up in st above rnd 11 between eyes.

2. Insert needle in st below rnd 12 (in a V shape) & bring up in st above rnd 11.

3. Insert needle through bottom point, bringing it up between top points.

4. Insert needle into bottom point again. Weave in yarn tail on back of body to secure.
