Egg to Owl Reversible Toy
Discover the magic of the Egg to Owl Reversible Toy, an adorable creation that transforms from a charming egg into a delightful little owl! You can see how this creative toy works in action on my Instagram: instagram.com/p/4CvkrwhU2d/?taken-by=susanbanderson.
The Egg to Owl is not just a reversible toy; it’s a unique knitting project that offers both fun and functionality. You’ll begin your knitting adventure by crafting the egg, which features a clever opening on its side. By picking up stitches around this opening, you'll then knit the adorable Owl's body from the bottom up. The head of the owl is worked separately and attached to the top of the body, making this the only seam in the entire toy, which is great for beginner knitters and experienced crafters alike!
As you complete your owl, you'll also create its dimensions by picking up and knitting the ears, wings, and feet directly onto the body. For added charm and safety, you can choose to use safety eyes for your finished toy, although embroidered eyes are a lovely alternative. If you decide to go the embroidery route, I recommend using the spiderweb embroidery technique to craft beautifully round eyes.

In addition, I’ve included suggested yarns below that will bring your Egg to Owl toy to life with vibrant colors and textures. Whether you’re knitting for a gift or adding to your collection, this reversible toy is sure to bring joy.
Have fun knitting your Owl-y reversible toy and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a whimsical, two-in-one plush companion!
