Scaley Vase Cozy - Update!



Hey, I know it's been a while since I gave any love to my old patterns, so I've updated the Free Vase Cozy Pattern! It's much easier to read now, and includes more photos and a bonus additional pattern to make some pencil holders using worsted weight. I updated the original post with the new info pointing you here, and from here, check out it's new pattern page on Ravelry. Let me know in the comments (here, or on Ravelry, or both!) and let me know if you like it. Do you prefer the version made with thread, or worsted weight? Are there other sizes you'd like to see this in?

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 11-13: Work 1 stitch in each stitch around
Row 14: Work *1 sc in next stitch, 2 sc in each stitch* around (18)
Row 15: Work *1 sc in next 2 stitch, 2 sc in each stitch* around (24)
