Owlet

Little Owlet







This little owl can keep you company on those lonely nights when you can't fall asleep. After all, she'll be up anyway.

Head & Body
Using the magic loop method, work 6 single crochet in the ring and pull it tight, and prepare to work in the round
Row 1: Work 2 sc in each stitch (12)
Row 2: Work *1 sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch* around (18)
Row 3-9: Work 1 stitch in each stitch around
Row 10: Work  *1 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 2 stitches* around(12)

If you want to add safety eyes, this is the point to do it. Also, it helps to add at least some stuffing here, as it gets a little harder once you've got the whole body made to get enough stuffing all the way down to the head.

Row 14: Work *1 sc in next stitch, 2 sc in each stitch* around (18)

Midnight Top

This top is made in 2 pieces, but can be made in 1 if you don't mind the lace facing differently. There is some minimal seaming, but its just side seams, and some grafting if you want the lace facing the same way. This top offers a lot in the way of customization, so instead of line-by-line instruction, this is more of a guide to help you make a top that fits you.
