Owl Granny Square Pattern
Start by making your owl. This pattern would also make a great appliqué!
Magic Ring, Chain 1, 8 HDC in magic ring, join to first HDC, chain 1
Round 2: 2 HDC in each around, join to first HDC, change color (16 HDC)
Round 3: Chain 2, 2 DC in each around, join to first DC, chain 1 (32 DC)
Round 4: HDC, in next stitch: DC – TC – DC, SC in next 5, in next stitch: DC – TC – DC, HDC in next, slip stitch to join.
fasten off, weave in ends.
Turn owl over. You are going to be attaching a series of chain 3’s where the brown DC’s join the pink (see picture). It’s best to start to the right of the ear. Be sure to work clockwise (see photo). To start, draw your hook under the bottom of the DC, chain 3. Now skip every other DC. So your pattern should look like this:
SC and chain 3, skip one, SC and chain 3, skip one, SC and chain 3, all the way around. In the end you will end up with 8 places where you have connected with SC’s and 8 chain 3 spaces. slip stitch to join to the bottom of the first chain 3.
Now working inside your chain 3 spaces…
Chain 3 – 2 DC – Chain 1 – 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, *3 DC – Chain 1 – 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, *Around, slip stitch to join to the top of the first chain 3, fasten off.
With new color and starting in corner space…
Chain 3 – 2 DC – Chain 1 – 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, *3 DC – Chain 1 – 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, *around, slip stitch to join to the top of the first chain 3, fasten off.
With new color and starting in corner space…
Chain 3 – 2 DC – Chain 1 – 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space,* 3 DC in next space – Chain 1 – 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, *Around, slip stitch to join to the top of the first chain 3, fasten off, weave in all ends.
This is what the backside of your granny square should look like:
Now you can add the embellishments to the owl.
Eyes:
Magic Ring, Chain 1, 8HDC in magic ring, join to first HDC, fasten off leaving a long tail to sew on.
Sew on no larger than 1/2″ black buttons in the middle for eyes.
Beak and Feet:
Sew on yellow yarn with tapestry needle. Loop the yarn through 3 times to make both the feet and beak.

I have just completed one. It didn’t turn out the same because I managed to get the number of rows(?) wrong however I still am really pleased because I’ve only been crocheting for two weeks . The owl is wonky too but looks adorable . Thankyou for this tutorial xxx
Please tell me how much color of each yarn I need? I didn’t see this listed anyplace.
You only need scraps. I didn’t measure, but it’s really just a bit of yarn of each color.
Soooo cute !! thanks a lot for sharing this pattern
Leelou from France
love love love this square!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks!!!!!!!!!
Hello!I wonder if there’s an opportunity for me to translate this wonderful pattern to Swedish and borrow images? Of course I link to your blog where the original pattern is, and do you have anything else to say about the pattern, I write naturally with it.You can reach me at; in advance/ Saannis
Thank you so much for this tutorial… 🙂
@ Christine I had the same question but went back & reread… It’s the dc tc dc in one stitch, then sc in the next five stitches then dc tc dc in the last stitch
Yes that is correct!! DC, TC, DC all in one stitch NOT every other stitch. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi I was wondering if someone could help clarify round 4??
All of those stiches go in the (1) stich after the first HDC? Or every other stitch??
Thanks so much– sorry ahead of time if a dumb question 🙂
If you read again carefully, the instruction tells you exactly what stitches go where. If my brain refuses to compute a pattern, I usually do a different, easy little pattern and then come back to the one I had difficulties with. That helps me a lot. 🙂
