Scrappy Owl Bag | Free Crochet Pattern
I don’t know about you, but at the end of the Fall/Winter season, especially after a long Winter of craft fairs, I buried up to my eyeballs in bulky yarn scraps. There always seems to be 25 yards of this and 30 yards of that left over from all the arm knit scarves and ear warmers.
I came up with this pattern to use up those bulky scraps and make a great little purse for craft fairs in the Spring and Summer. Enjoy!
Furls Odyssey J (6.5 mm) hook
At least 340 yds of scraps, Bulky yarn such as Loops and Threads Charisma, Red Heart Medley, or Deborah Norville Serenity Chunky. Include at least 100 yds white/off white and black for eyes, an orange shade for beak

Hi,
Very cute pattern, though not working for me.
No, I do not have the same necessary materials as what you state–I’m using a bag of factory ends (words on the bag) double stranded, a 5.5 mm hook.
Getting the 56 chains was the easy part; Round 1 only allowed me 27 clusters, Round 2 allowed me 26 clusters, I had to force another cluster in to get the 27th. I’m guessing the cluster count will continue to go down by one cluster with each next row
The bag is open at the bottom (chain row). I do not see any closure instructions in the given pattern. Is there any help you can possibly let me know of to do this bag right?
I am in a craft guild where I live and this would be an excellent item to show off in our Tea in a few months.
