Funmigurumi Poochie Dogs No. 1: Cookie

I'm not only an Ami lover, I love animals too. We have had 3 dogs with spots on them. All of them pretty wonderful dogs, so I decided to make a dog with various colors for my first pattern of this series. (Don't be surprised at what I do after that!)

Funmigurumi Mixed-Media Owlettes: Winkie and Hooter

Mixed media is not only fun but it sometimes saves you time, if you are in a hurry to make a gift. If you have a special toddler or 6 to 12-month-old baby that you want to surprise with an easy to make, cute toy for the crib, playpen or just for naptime fun and comfort, this is an ideal one to make. It is a combo toy and it works out really fast. You will be using a paper pattern to cut out the body from fleece or from sweatshirt fabric and crochet to make out the rest.
Materials:

1/2 yard of fleece or sweatshirt fabric, any kind you like (I used a stretchy striped one, it behaved like knit fabric)

1 cat toy with a bell per owlette

Scissors

Sharp sewing needle

Blunt needle

Size H crochet hook and size F crochet hook

Embroidery floss (Black for Winkie, Pale Yellow for Hooter, Red to emphasize belly of both owlettes)

Scraps of Red Heart worsted weight yarn in the following colors:

Baby Yellow, Pumpkin, Pretty N Pink, Spring Green, and Cherry Red

Quilting sewing thread or upholstery thread (strong) matching the fabric of your choice, and red sewing thread

Fiberfill

(Optional) sewing machine

Paper

Pen or pencil

Compas or bowl of the size you want your owlette

Pins
With compass or bowl, make a circle as large as possible for a compass or as large as the bowl you have selected on the sheet of paper.With the pen or pencil, draw two triangles on both ends of the top of the circle (those are the horns, since these are baby horned owls).Refine the triangles to your satisfaction. Cut your paper pattern. Take the fabric (iron it if it is wrinkled), and pin the paper pattern to it,cut two (Front and Back). Set aside. Eyes- (Make 2 per owlette) With Black, ch 2. Make 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Rnd 2- Make 2 sc in each sc around. Fasten off Black. Join Baby Yellow. Make 1 sc in each of first 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc. Repeat around. Fasten off. Beak (Make 1 per owlette)- With Pumpkin and F hook, ch 3. Row 1- 1 sc in 2nd ch from hk, ch 2, turn. Row 2- 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 2, turn. Row 3- Rep row 2.

Belly- For Hooter, proceed as follows: With Pretty N Pink, ch 2. Rnd 1- Make 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Rnd 2- Make 2 sc in each sc acround. Rnd 3- Make 1 sc in each of first 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc. Rep around. Rnd 4- Make 2 sc in each of first 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc. Rep around.Rnd 5- Make 1 sc in each of first 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, rep around. Rnd 6- Make 1 sc in each of first 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc, rep around. Rnd 7- Make 1 sc in each sc around. Fasten off Pretty N Pink. Join Baby Yellow. Rnd 8- 1 sc in each of next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc. Rep around. Rnds 9 to 10- 1 sc in each sc around. Rnd 11- Make 1 sc in each of next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, rep around. Fasten off.For Winkie, proceed as follows: With Cherry Red, ch 2. Rnds 1 to 4- Rep first 4 rnds as for Hooter's belly. Fasten off. Join Spring Green.Rnds 5 to 7- Rep Rnds 5 to 7 as for Hooter's Belly. Fasten off. Join Pretty N Pink. Rnds 8 to 9- Rep Rnds 8 and 9 as for Hooter. Sew beak to belly with the same yarn with which you made beak. Fasten off.
Putting your owlettes together- With both right sides facing, pin your owlette's body so that the fabric will not twist on you as you sew it.With either sewing machine or by hand using quilting thread and needle and running stitch in small and close stitches, sew both front and back of body together, leaving an opening at the bottom for stuffing. Turn inside out. Sew eyes in place as in photos using embroidery thread. Stuff belly and sew it in place usingred sewing thread and very small stitches. Fasten off. Thread the sewing needle with Red embroidery thread and go all around the belly with a nice and even buttonhole stitch to adhere it more firmly to the body of the toy. Stuff your toy, slip the cat bell inside. Finish stuffing. Sew bottom closed.

Note- You can make these owlettes as simple soft toys out of terry and crochet too. But I thought it would be more fun for the baby tohave them rattle as well.
