An eeeeexcelent pattern! Thank you. I only changed colours. Greetings from Croatia.
También tuve problemas con las plumas del cuello. Lo que pasa es que hay que hacer los primeros 5 puntos altos en directamente en el orificio entre los dos puntos altos y luego los siguientes 5 tomando el punto ato. Ahora, después de ver cómo se hacen. Les recomiendo hacerlas antes de terminar el cuerpo del búho y rellenarlo, de esta forma es más fácil trabajar. Creo además que en el patrón debería indicarse así. Yo logré terminarlo. Aunque las plumas del cuello se ven un poco diferente, creo que se ven bien! Gracias por el patrón
Hello. Could you please tell me how much yarn is needed for one cute owl? I mean the main color. Thank you.
Del color principal usé la marca nube y con 50 gramos fue suficiente!
I am also stuck on the neck. I have made projects with the crocodile stitch before but the feather itself had the back of the stitch facing out. Yours are facing front as they should be but no matter what I tried I a cannot get this part of the pattern correct. Please Help All of us that are stuck on the same part.
I wish you would do a video on the neck feathers. I got the chest and wings just fine but my neck feathers want to be upside down no matter how I do them. They point up instead of down. I am not a beginner so I know there has to be a simple trick or something that I am missing here.
the v stitch for the feathers is in the opposite direction.
Hola buenas tardes!!! quisiera saber de cuantos centímetros es aproximadamente?
12 cm
Please make a video for the end of foundation stich of the neck feathers. I can not make it work. I’ve made all the other feathers pretty easily, but how do I join and start here? Please help.
Hola, hice las plumas, pero no puedo avanzar en las del cuello. En la ronda 3. Tampoco hay video de las plumas adosadas al cuello.
I think the video would be better if it was narrated and explained as I cannot get feathers done

Someone please help me! I want to finish my owl but am stuck. I completed the neck feathers and then the next step is crochetng the feathers. I get stuck on the start of round 3…I’ve just about worn out my yarn from frogging it out over and over about 7 times already. I feel stupid because I usually don’t have this problem. I watched your one video on how to make the feathers but that isn’t from starting on the neck. I’m lost at the turn (?) not sure how to turn.
Any help?
Thank you
Patti
The feathers on the neck are crocheted in the same way as other feathers. Please have a look at video tutorial.
Bonsoir,
Je trouve votre site magnifique et m’y suis inscrite à l’instant.
Je souhaite faire les hiboux, dont vous offrez le tuto,mais il est impossible de le télécharger, en français.
Pouvez-vous m’indiquer comment faire, je suis désespérée.
Merci beaucoup, belle soirée
Manou
Gracias ,maravillosos búhos !!
Hello :), I must say that your owl is so cute and adorable, actually, I fell in love with it so much. I want to try it soon, but I want to ask you politely something because I don’t see it written in the pattern. Can I sell those? I won’t be mad if I can’t because I know some people protect their ideas, so I want to clear that up right in the beginning. Nonetheless, great work and wish you a nice day 🙂
Hi 🙂 you are more than welcome to sell finished crochet toys made with the help of our patterns, giving a credit to our website, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
Hi, I was just wondering if this is worked in continuous rings like a spiral, or each joined with a sl st.. I know the eyes are joined so they are round, but what about the body? Thank you x
It is worked in continuous rounds.
Just did it & it looks amazing, thank you
Hi there. I entered my owl that used this pattern at my local craft show and won! Thankyou so much for a great pattern!
Wow!!! Great news! Congratulations!!! 💖🏆👏
Oi pessoal me ajudem..quero muito fazer o Bird mas não compreendo Inglês por favor me ajudem a entender em Português? Obrigada

Could you please make a video tutorial for the neck feathers also?
I was wondering if these patterns are linked on Ravelry ? I can’t seem to find them to link them to project pages. Thanks
No, but you can add project link on your own 🙂
Thank you! So cute!
Cute pattern. Just wish it could be copied.
