Hoot! Hoot! Hoot! Here comes the sock owl family!!! Please meet the Browie family, another sock softie creation to add into the sock patterns and tutorials in Craft Passion.
I am a big fan of owl when it comes to bird and it gives me great inspirations to design these sock owls. The Browie family has a distinctive appearance, they all have prominent eye-brows that connected to the ears, orange beak and a pair of very short feet that are hidden into the big tummy. Mommy Browie is grey in color with purple dots, Daddy Browie is grey in color with white chicken-pox scars all over the front. The grey color dotted parents somehow have stripy off-springs in red-white-black-yellow, so funny!!!
The sock owl is able to sit well on any flat surface as there is a bean pack stuffed inside the bottom of their tummy. Omit the bean pack if you aim to make it as hanging ornament.
Gee, I am now so obsessed with socks and I have a few more ideas to sew them with. Hope you are feeling the same, click the link for more sock patterns and tutorials or find it under the related topic below.
Fabulous
I love your owls and would like to make some for my grankids.
Please make them, your grandkids will love it 🙂
Where can Ifind silicone or stuffing beads. I live in Pennsylvania.
Hi Beth, I am not sure which shop in Pennsylvania has the stuffing beads. You may use any cheap beads or short grain rice or other beans to substitute if you really can’t find it.
Hope this helps.
Michael’s? Walmart? Hobby Lobby?
These are adorable! Planning to make for my friends newborn and I don’t want to use bead stuffing for safety, would you recommend anything else or is using just bamboo filling ok?
Hi Artandcrafty,
Without the bead stuffing, the owl can’t stand well. If you do not mind that it cant stand, you can leave with it. Otherwise, may be you can use short grain rice if you think it is better than using beads. Hope this helps.
Love all your tutorials so much! Where do you get all your super cute socks?
Hi Liz,
We have some cute socks in our online shop, store.craftpassion.com.
This is so adorable and I would like to have a couple of them. Any chance you would make them and sell them to me??? It would mean the world to me if you would. I have disabilities that prevent me from doing certain things. Please let me know. I would be so grateful to you.
I am so sorry about your limited ability. I have no plan to make and sell the sock owl yet, at least for this year. Please check out my online shop for new updates. Hope to be able to sew and sell to you soon.

I love this! I made one for fathers day and my dad loved it! Do you mind if I use this on my blog?
I love these but I don’t get how to do the eyes? The body is all sewn together, but the safety eyes have parts that are supposed to be inside? What did I miss?
Hi Mary, I used sewn type of button eyes, there is no part to be put into the body.
Im in LOVE with these softie owls!!! So I featured this post in my own blog: http://www.plushiepatterns.com/sock-owls-free-pattern-tutorial/ Thank you for this post…. my followers also loved it!!!! 🙂
Thank you, Becky 🙂
I think it’s easy tutorial. I’ll make it today. Thanks.

The Owls are so cute.,I think it would make a Great Door stop, just put some kind of weight in it.
yes, definitely great as a door stopper. Just fill it up with sand in a plastic bag instead of polyester filling.
I love this tutorial, Thank you – I made a few for friends and family. If you would like to see them they can be found here on my blog 🙂

Joanne, I’m not sure you are aware of this, but a very large blog that collects tutorials from other blogs has taken all of your beautiful images from this post and created a collaged pictorial tutorial. While they do link to your post, there is really no reason for anyone to click over to your site, since the visual tutorial is all right there. http://diyallthings.blogspot.com/2015/01/how-to-make-sock-owl.html
Sorry to be the bear of bad news!

Thank you, Amanda for the head up. There many out there doing this to me and other great site, so sad. I hope someone can just ask them to take it down and put only a main picture instead of all the details.
Love these!
Thanks a lot for you,
It is a very nice and simple idea .
So cute, I think I will do a lot,
Thanks.
Love all your inventive, colorful sock animals. But I need a pig! Would you please add a pig to your zoo? Thanks!
Hi Rhonda, I will put the sock pig in my to-do list 🙂
These are so cute! I can’t wait to try this project… Thanks for sharing 😀
So glad I found this tutorial again – I am making one as a year end gift for my son’s 3rd grade teacher -who LOVES owls. I found a sock in the school colors -turning out so adorable! Thanks!
Hi Regina,
Wow, Glad to hear this!!!
Would you mind to share a picture or 2 with us when you are free?
Very cute owl, may I know where can I buy silica beads in Penang or KL or PJ? Thank you
I actually bought them from pet section in Aeon but it is not there anymore. You may replace it with rice or sand if you really can’t find silica beads.
I want to try these so bad! I haven’t made anything in years and you have me wanting to buy a sewing machine. These are sooooo cute! Thank you
You are most welcome, Connie. Hope that you get a sewing machine soon and start sewing a storm 🙂 In the mean time, you can also hand-sewn this sock owl.
I love your sock patterns, they are soooo cute, and easy to follow. I gave sock monkeys for birthdays and Christmas last year, so quess what they get this year? Thanks for the great projects..
I am so glad to know this, Denise. Your friends and relatives are so lucky to have you sewing beautiful handmade gifts for them!
