This pattern is beginner-friendly and works up quickly using just worsted weight (4) yarn. With only about 3 ounces of yarn needed per owl, it’s a fantastic stash-busting project.
You can complete the entire piece in just one evening, making it perfect for last-minute gifts. The finished owl measures approximately 4.5″ tall by 4.5″ wide (not including the wings), giving you a compact and cozy spot to rest your glasses when you’re not wearing them.
What makes this pattern extra special is the use of the crocodile stitch, adding texture and charm to your owl. If you’re new to this stitch, don’t worry. There’s a helpful YouTube tutorial linked right in the pattern to guide you through each step.
The rest of the project uses simple stitches, so it’s approachable for advanced beginners looking to try something new.
Create a whole flock of these wise little owls in different colors to match your décor or share with friends and family. They make thoughtful handmade gifts for birthdays, graduations, or just because. And best of all, you’ll never have to wonder where your glasses went again.
