Handbook of Crochet No. 2
The Owl design can be used as an medallion motif, an insertion or a border.
I came across this filet crochet owl pattern in the Handbook of Crochet No. 2 Published by Needlecraft Publishing Company, Augusta Maine. I didn’t find a copyright date.
The booklet has more than just filet crochet patterns. You’ll find several pretty doilies, edgings, insertions and baby items.
Click on the cover and it will take you to the PDF link at the Antique Pattern Library. Definitely worth taking a look at.
Explanation of Stitches
I wanted to include this Explanation of Stitches page as well. Not only does it have crochet stitches but towards the bottom there are Terms Used In Filet Crochet which will help with this owl pattern.

The APL- Antique Pattern Library is my go-to site! It’s popular for good reason. It’s chock full of patterns and how-to’s on everything.
I am enjoying this owl filet crochet pattern very much- you know why? It’s so simple and easy.
How did women way back then find the time to complete such complex and time consuming projects that I see in antique books?? They had less free time than we do now, I’d think- but they managed to make bedspreads, doilies, curtains and garments all by hand.
Glad to hear your part of town wasn’t washed away by the fierce storm. I’ve lived through a few hurricanes myself. I’m in Arizona now & the West never ever sees strong storms that the Eastern half of US sees all the time.
I do hope you’re feeling better.
I’ve thought the exact same thing — how did they find the time? We certainly should have more leisure time but many times it doesn’t feel that way. And it seems like life is flying by.
I’m doing better and ready to have my treatments behind me.
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.
