I may have finished making the band, but I'm not done yet! Here is Boron, King of the Ga'hoole tree. He is one of the easiest owls I have made so far, but I really like how he turned out.
You can also use this pattern to make Queen Baran. (she has more black spots)

Boron the character belongs to Kathryn Lasky, but the pattern belongs to me
P.S. The pictures don't do him justice; and I will get pictures of him outside.
He is really great... Can not wait until you post Ezylryb!
ReplyDeleteSorry but i had to type here to say this.After seeing the vote bar on the side of the page i can tell you,you are not crocheting inside-out but i think your just left handed which means when you finish your work you have to turn it inside out to the the look of a right handed stitch.I know this doesn't really affect 2d patterns but when working in the round it is important to remember.
ReplyDeletefor me,he is "Hedwig" from Harry potter :) love your pattern and amigurumi ..........
ReplyDeleteGreat Patterns, all of them are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
Grz Willemina Meijer.
how tall did this one turn out?
ReplyDeleteHe is about 8in high.
DeleteP.S. Sorry it took so long to reply!
BLO???? What dose that mean
ReplyDeleteIt means Back Loop Only.
Delete1. ch 6; turn, (FLO) sc across-5
ReplyDelete2. ch 2, turn, sc in next 7st-6
How am I supposed to sc in 7 st when there are only 5 from the row before? And then it says I will end with 6? Is this some sort of typo or am I doing something wrong?
Also curious why you sskipped stitches instead of doing a sc dec? Does it make a difference in the shape?
My interpretation was typo. I'm thinking it's supposed to be chain 8, sc across (7), then sc 7 (7).
DeleteAs for the FLO...I was wondering that myself. The only thing that I could think of was FLO = don't crochet in the back bumps of the chain...but I only ever crochet in the back bumps when someone notes it in the pattern.
And, I can think of no reason in the world why you would want to skip a stitch instead of decreasing, so I modified that part.
I need help with the eye placement, as it is difficult to tell from the one front-facing photo.
DeleteBetween what rounds am I placing the eyes? And approximately how many stitches are between the two eyes?
Also, how do you st in flo on a ch?
ReplyDeleteCan you please explain exactly how you made the eyebrows?
ReplyDeleteOn the foot, Sc next stitch, do (to), Sc last 2? What does that mean?
