Nearly five stars. This got me out of a crochet slump. Gave it to myself, honestly. I've been asked for four more. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead. Four solid stars.
Really nice pattern with one small gripe. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Sewing on the ear tufts took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi. Still recommend.
Not bad, not amazing. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. The shaping on the chest feathers is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. The stitch count on one round of the chest feathers didn't match for me (could be my error).
Very cute, minor hiccup. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up. Made it for my husband (he loves them) and they have not put it down since. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. The wing flaps instructions could use one more photo.
Mixed feelings. I've been crocheting for 30+ years and this was perfect for me. This one's for my wife. Already planning the next one. Used sock yarn and a 2mm hook for a mini version and it came out perfect toddler size. Finished it, it's cute, but assembly was more frustrating than fun.

It's fine. It was for a classroom prize box and it was the hit of the party. A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.
Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Perfect gift pattern.
Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. I've made maybe a dozen amigurumi and this was perfect for me. My Owl came out small enough for a keychain using some hand-dyed merino I'd been saving. I've bought Owl patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Thanks for a great pattern!
Good value, a few notes. Great TV-watching project. The shaping on the wing flaps is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. Download link came through instantly after checkout. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the chest feathers goes. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out.
Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. It went to my husband (he loves them) and now the whole family wants one. My Owl came out bigger than I expected using bulky yarn to make it extra big. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.
Finished my Owl last night! It went to my wife and now the whole family wants one. If you're on the fence, buy it.
Solid pattern. Download link came through instantly after checkout. Used bulky yarn to make it extra big and it came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.
Very cute, minor hiccup. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Owl. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Four solid stars.
So happy with how my Owl turned out. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Thanks for a great pattern!
Solid pattern. I squeeze crochet in during nap time, and this one still taught me something. Finished in the length of a football game. The ear tufts is my favorite part. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. My one gripe is the ear tufts took a few tries to get symmetrical.
Cutest thing I've ever made. It was for my niece and it was the hit of the party.
Could not be happier with this. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before and this was perfect for me. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. My Owl came out about 6 inches tall using velvet yarn (not recommended for beginners!). Would give six stars if I could.
Could not be happier with this. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. Already eyeing the other animals.
Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
I screamed a little when I finished the face. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. I've bought Owl patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. This got me out of a crochet slump. Made it for my niece and they have not put it down since. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
So happy with how my Owl turned out. I'm newly retired and finally have time and I had no trouble at all. Great TV-watching project. It went to my niece and now the whole family wants one. If you're on the fence, buy it.
Mixed feelings. I've been crocheting for 30+ years, and this one still taught me something. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. The stitch count on one round of the wing flaps didn't match for me (could be my error).
10/10 would crochet again. I liked that the color changes for the ear tufts are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. Thanks for a great pattern!
Ok this is my new favorite pattern. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. Chef's kiss.
Absolutely adorable. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. My new go-to gift.
Solid pattern. Did the wing flaps in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Finished in the length of a football game. The wing flaps is my favorite part. My one gripe is the wing flaps took a few tries to get symmetrical.
Cute result, took a little fiddling. I make toys for the children's ward so I was nervous, but it went fine. This one's for my husband (he loves them). Already planning the next one. I made it in leftover scraps and the chest feathers still came out crisp. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the ear tufts. Would still buy again.
Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. I left out the big eyes by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Go get it.

Absolutely adorable. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns so I was nervous, but it went fine. I made it in Red Heart Super Saver and the big eyes still came out crisp. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the chest feathers goes. Great TV-watching project. Gave it to my goddaughter. I've been asked for four more.
Mixed feelings. I'm a grandma of six so I was nervous, but it went fine. I made it in leftover scraps and the big eyes still came out crisp. Made two: one for a church bazaar and one that is NOT leaving my house. The photos are good but there aren't enough of them for the chest feathers.
