Owl Teacosy pattern in crochet wanted
I'm new here, and am here in desperate need of help. Our family had a teacosy that was crocheted in the shape of an owl, he had two big crocheted circles for eyes, and a very textured body. To cut a long and painful story short, the cosy has been badly damaged, my parents are devastated as it was made by my great-grandmother towards the end of her life. I know I can't replace it exactly, but I'd like to make a replacement, but can't find a pattern. If anyone could supply me with one, I'd be very grateful indeed.

Owl Teacosy pattern in crochet wanted
Hi KiwiDeb & Welcome to the group! I found a picture on this blog that matches your description. http://j9campcalcium.blogspot.com/20...-in-perth.html Do you think you could make up a pattern using this picture as a guide? It's about the only thing I could find at a quick glance. The body looks like some kind of shell stitch that is decreased around the head, and the eyes look like they are several rows of double crochet in the round. I can't see the back, but maybe you could figure it out. Good luck, Hesira |

I have got some eyes done somewhere but never got around to making the body a second time.. Unfortunately I cannot find the pattern because I had a massive clear out last year to re-organise my craft room. However the friend who taught me to crochet gave me the pattern and she may still have it. I will email her and see if she does have it and will get it. It was just on one page of A4.
