Pigwidgeon

I have finished part of my Swap package!! and another HP Class Hurrah!!!  Meet Pigwidgeon!!! Yes Ron Weasleys little owl from Harry Potter!!

He is a mini crotchet affair and so cute I’m gonna find it hard to give him away!! My youngest cat has already demonstrated his interest ( he loves all things small and teddy like – only trouble is eventually they die gruesome deaths!!)

How to Crotchet Pigwidgeon!

Abbreviations (UK) –

SC = single crotchet

T = Treble crotchet

DC = Doble Crotchet

st = stitch

You will need:  a smallish amount of fluffyish DK yarn from your stash, a 3.5mm crotchet hook, 2 small felt circles, 2 buttons, and some yellow felt for his beak and feet

Pattern

Row 1: Chain 2, Make 10 trebles into the circle created by the Foundation join with SC into top of first treble

Row 2: Chain 2, Make 2 trebles into each treble in the circle and join with a SC into the top of the first treble

Bind off, stuff and sew straight across the top of the head.

Ears, eyes, beak and feet….

Attach small amount of yarn to each corner of head and make a 3 ch before binding off

Cut small felt circles and sew with buttons onto face for eyes
