Round 2: 6 inc
Round 3: 1 sc, inc (6 times) 18 sc
Round 4: 2 sc, inc (6 times) 24 sc

Rounds 12-20: no changes, crochet in the round.
Round 21: Begin decreasing: 9 sc, dec (6 times) sc

Continue this way to the end. When a small opening remains, stuff the owl's head firmly, fasten off, and hide the yarn tail.

Eye Whites (2 pieces)

Round 1: 6 MR
Round 2: 6 inc
Round 3: 1 sc, inc (6 times) 18 sc
Round 4: 2 sc, inc (6 times) 24 sc

Fasten off, hide the yarn tail, and cut it. Steam the eye pieces with an iron.

Glue them together (the colored part and the white part). I used Moment glue. I left them under pressure for about 15 minutes. I also glued on the eyes after cutting off the safety-eye posts.

Nose (Beak)

Round 1: 6 MR
Round 2: 6 inc
Round 3: 1 sc, inc (6 times) 18 sc
Rounds 4-5: no changes

Sew the parts together and leave a long yarn tail for attaching.

Ears (2 pieces)

Round 1: 6 MR
Round 2: 1 sc, inc = 9 sc
Round 3: 2 sc, inc = 12 sc
Round 4: 5 sc, inc (2 times) 14 sc
Rounds 5-6: no changes

Leave a yarn tail for sewing.

Wings (2 pieces)

Round 1: 6 MR
Round 2: 1 sc, inc = 9 sc
Round 3: 2 sc, inc = 12 sc
Round 4: 5 sc, inc (2 times) 14 sc
Round 5: 6 sc, inc (2 times) 16 sc
Round 6: 7 sc, inc (2 times) 18 sc
Round 7: 8 sc, inc (2 times) sc
Rounds 8-10: no changes

Join both sides together. Along the top, crochet an edging: 3 chain stitches, sc, 3 ch, sc, and repeat to the end. This creates the feather effect.

Bow

17 ch (2 of them are turning chains) = 15 dc
Round 1: dc to the end of the row, 15 dc
Round 2: Work the row through both loops, 15 dc
Rounds 3-4: no changes. 15 dc

Wrap yarn tightly around the middle to shape the bow. Fasten off and hide the yarn tail.

Crochet a nice ribbon for the center of the bow:
4 ch (1 is a turning chain), crochet the ribbon with 3 sc in each row (same principle as for the bow).

Bottom of the Owl

Crochet a circle up to 5 sc.
Start with 6 MR.
Sew the bottom to the owl!!
