Winter Treasure Hunt
Time to get chilly!
This year, I’m bringing back and oldy-but-goody pattern from when I first started publishing patterns. As a result, it has been YEARS since this one has been available in PDF format, and it’s about time that it comes out of retirement.
The Mini Owlet pattern has been around a while — since 2015! — but it has just been upgraded to the Premium Pattern 2.0 format and is ready for you to enjoy!
This pattern is a great stocking stuffer, it’s a scrap buster, and it makes great craft fair inventory! These little guys sell like hotcakes!
You can get this adorable little owl amigurumi pattern, as a Premium Pattern PDF, for FREE for participating in this month’s Treasure Hunt.
I know, “Oh no! Not participation!” but it’s a solo mission (no raid group required), so hopefully that will be more appealing. 🙂
The game is super easy and really fun! I promise!
This time, I’ve just hidden little owls all over the website, so they should be easier to find. There may be other owlet images on the blog; the ones you are looking for are these:
How It Works
- Around the blog, there are hidden five (5) Owls They could be anywhere on the website! Pattern posts, tutorial posts, article pages, ANYWHERE!
- Use the clue below to find Owl #1.
- Click on the owl and it will send you to a page with the clue to find Piece #2.
- Continue in this manner until you have found all five (5) Owls!
- When you find Owl #5, it will take you to a page to input your email address so you can get your PDF pattern sent directly to you.

FAQ
Q: How long do I have to find all five (5) Owls?
A: You ONLY have until December 18th, 2024, to complete the hunt!
The hunt is shorter than the last one, but I think it will be a bit easier, so get started!
Q: Is there an easier way to get the pattern? I’m not good at hunts.
A: Yes. If you really don’t want to take the time to find the Owls you can get the Premium Pattern two other ways.
- Purchase the Premium Pattern 2.0 from Etsy or Ravelry. You will find it in the shop after November 17th.
- Wait until the modifications for the pattern to go live on the blog in free, text-only format. This will be some time in late December, early January.
Q: I know I’m on the right page, but I can’t find the owls!
A: If you are on a mobile device, be sure to let the whole page load as you scroll down! For some reason, the clue images are the last to load…I think even the internet is trying to make the hunt harder. So be patient and keep looking!
Q: What if I can’t find them all?
A: Don’t quit! I have faith in you!
Come at it from several angles! If the next clue isn’t giving you enough hints, you can even go as far as to systematically work through the blog and search. It’s up to you!
But please don’t ask in the Facebook Group or share the answers, but if you contact me directly (hookedbykati@gmail.com) I am often willing to give additional hints if you ask nicely. 🙂 This is supposed to be a game.

Can’t wait to play. Just finished the GuineaCorn from last year. Like the small projects to build confidence in getting to those fantastic Dragons.
Brilliant – thanks for arranging this, made my day! 🦉
