You will need

scrap worsted weight cotton
size US H crochet hook
black brads or black buttons
poly-fil stuffing
stitch marker

Note

The body is worked in a spiral so you will not slip stitch at the end of each row. Instead place a marker so you know where the beginning of the next row is. I like to use a small piece of contrasting scrap yarn because it is easier to just pull out and place between the stitches.

I used the colors pink (A), green (B) red (C), blue (D).

I am extremely lazy and just glue on the eyes and the beak on to the owl, but feel free to sew them on. If you would like to add a hanging loop, just make a chain of 14 and sew it on the center top of the owl

Assembly

Assembly is fairly simple. Start by stuffing the head with fiber fill.  Pin the ears and eye circles in place.  See my picture to see where the eyes should be placed.   The post needs to be pushed through the eye circle as well as the head before attaching the backing.  In my example, I placed the eye post through an opening that is one row away from the center.  When you are satisfied with the placement of all the parts, go ahead and sew the eye circles in place.  Then reach inside the head and attach the eye backings.  Next, sew the ears in place.

Fill the body with polyester pellets until it is about 3/4 full.  Top it off by stuffing the rest of the space with fiber fill. This helps to keep the poly-pellets in place.  Attach the head. There should be a seamless transition at the neck because both the head and body openings have the same number of stitches.  The wings go on next.  I usually sew the beak on last.  You can also use a piece of felt in place of a yarn beak.
