Owl Baby Booties Crochet Pattern

The other day while I was busy organising my ever-growing pattern library I quickly realised that I had never created an owl inspired pattern yet! This came as quite a shock to me, as I adore everything about those beautiful creatures.
It didn’t take me more than a minute before I grabbed my crochet hooks and some brightly coloured yarn and set to work to create these little cuties you see below.
What are some of your favourite animals? 





Materials

3.50mm (E) Crochet Hook
8ply Yarn (DK) – Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK

Sew 2 eyes onto the front of each bootie, towards the top, making sure to space them out evenly.

Create 2 beaks, then sew 1 beak onto the front of each bootie, towards the bottom.

Pompoms
Then make 4 pompoms using all 3 yarn colours, making sure each pompom measures 1″ in diameter  I used THIS tutorial to make my mini pompoms.
Taking your tapestry/wool needle, attach 2 pom poms to each bootie, just above the eyes.

Hope you all enjoyed this tiny owl pattern!
If you did crochet this, please post a photo of your creation onto my Facebook Page.
I’d love to see it!
Have a lovely day crocheting,

      There is an error in the pattern.. but I figured it out, but for those who cant… in the pattern where is says to repeat (how many times) that is the total .. so if it says repeat 7 times like in row 4.. only repeat 6 times.. the 7 is the total number of times.. it is like that in all the repeat rows.. hope that makes sense.. thanks love the pattern

    I'm so confused in round round 5 I keep getting 38 not 34. Am I supposed to be doing 1 single decrease and 1 single crochet in the same stitch for 15 stitches? That part has me super confused!!!

    Such a cute show but I have made the sole twice. It is incorrect. That’s why I love the channels that test their own pattern before posting. You provide yarn n pattern to your tester!

    Hi Olivia, thank you for these beautiful baby booties patterns. I made a few for my grandson. I would love to make this pair for him but I cannot read the pattern. It’s in another language that I don’t know. Can you help, please? Thank you once more for your beautiful works of art your patterns are extremely well written.
