Owl Baby Booties Crochet Pattern

Category: Baby / Crochet / Patterns

The other day while I was busy organising my ever-growing pattern library I quickly realised that I had never created an owl inspired pattern yet! This came as quite a shock to me, as I adore everything about those beautiful creatures.
It didn’t take me more than a minute before I grabbed my crochet hooks and some brightly coloured yarn and set to work to create these little cuties you see below.
What are some of your favourite animals?

Hope you all enjoyed this tiny owl pattern!

    • There is an error in the pattern.. but I figured it out, but for those who cant… in the pattern where is says to repeat (how many times) that is the total .. so if it says repeat 7 times like in row 4.. only repeat 6 times.. the 7 is the total number of times.. it is like that in all the repeat rows.. hope that makes sense.. thanks love the pattern

  7. I'm so confused in round round 5 I keep getting 38 not 34. Am I supposed to be doing 1 single decrease and 1 single crochet in the same stitch for 15 stitches? That part has me super confused!!!

  21. Such a cute show but I have made the sole twice. It is incorrect. That’s why I love the channels that test their own pattern before posting. You provide yarn n pattern to your tester!
