E dell'ovetto che si fa? I crocheted one for an owl-addicted friend :) Wanna make this fluffy cutie for yourself too? You can find eyes & wings patterns at the end of this post. Happy crocheting! Anna Il conto alla rovescia è iniziato! Con il passare delle ore, come ogni anno, le nostre case si stanno invadendo di ovetti cioccolatosi! La prova costume? Il Topexan? La carie ai denti? E finite anche le briciole - a suon di torte cioccolato e cocco, muffin al cioccolato, budino al cioccolato, soufflè al cioccolato, tiramisù al cioccolato - dell'ovetto plasticoso che se ne fa? Se siete eco-friendly nel bidone della raccolta plastica, ma se siete abili con l'uncinetto.. amigurumi! Grazie alla collaborazione con la talentuosa Ilaria (che mi ha preceduto con le sue creazioni di ben... un anno? Qui sotto la mia interpretazione, un pensierino di buona Pasqua per un'amica appassionata di gufi :D Avanti Signor Gufo, non faccia il timido e si faccia immortalare ^__^ Una volta aperto mi assomiglia un pò a Pacman :D A presto, Anna.

Crochet Owl Pattern... I loved making the owl in my last post. When I saw the picture of it on Pinterest, I knew I wanted to make a few. But after searching for who posted the original picture, there was no pattern to be found. So, I decided to sit down and try to figure it out on my own. When I had requests for a pattern, well, I must say that I was very happy. So, to the best of my ability, I wrote down a pattern. Now, please keep in mind that I have never written a crochet pattern before. {hugs} Laura I used Sugar and Cream cotton yarn with a H/8 - 5 mm crochet hook. Start with a magic ring and hook 6 single crochet into it. Second Round - Chain one and then hook 2 single crochets in each stitch.
Third Round - Change colors and then chain two. Fourth Round - Change colors and chain one. Fifth Round - Chain two and double crochet into the same space. (from right to left) ch 2 + dc, 2 dc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 dc, 2 dc. *1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in 4th st* The beak is embroidered on with yarn. Free Simply Cute Blue Bird Crochet Pattern.

Head and Body 2: 2 sc in each sc (12) Free Hobbes Crochet Pattern. I've finally decided to write up my Hobbes pattern and instead of selling it I'd like to give it to you for free. The reason he is free is because the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson did not want to commercialize his work so keeping that in mind Please don't sell this pattern and don't sell the completed work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I originally made this up for my son because of his love for Hobbes (he's 23 now) I armed myself with Watterson's brilliant drawings as a reference.
I made this pattern to look as close as possible to the Hobbes' drawings . I realized that Hobbes could be broken down into basic shapes. He also had the muzzle of a cat so I looked to the famous Amineko cat. Once I got the shapes down I worked on size. Until I started making him I never realized how different Hobbes looks from a regular cat. His head and body are a lot longer thanan normal cat plus he has the shortest fattest legs. That caused me problems since tubular legs and arms don't want to bend.
