DIY - Adorable owl free crochet pattern [Tee-ise - armas öökull muster]

I made this pattern over a year ago, but it is still my favourite pattern all time. Super easy and fast. Do it yourself or give it to your kids - you all can manage, if you know the basics of amigurumi.

Skill level – beginner
Finished size – The adorable owl is about 7 cm (2.75”) tall (if using similar yarn)

Supplies
1. Yarn – the example ise crocheted with Steinbach Wolle Capri (100% Cotton;50g = 125m; 1.75 oz = 136 yds)
Color A – pink
Color B – dark pink
Color C – light beige
2. Polyester fiberfill
3. Crochet hook 3,0 mm (U.S D or in accordance with the yarn you use)
4. Stitch marker
5. Black cotton thread
6. Darning and embroidery needles

About the pattern 
Work in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed. It would be wise to use a stitch marker and place it in the first stitch of the round to mark the beginning of it. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the previous one. If you need to change color, do it always at the end of the previous round. Start the last stitch of the round with the old color. Change the color right before you draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch. You can easily sew the toy together when you leave each piece a long yarn tail.

Abbreviations:
