Notes
1. Blanket, eye sections, beak, flower, and leaf
are worked in joined rounds with right side
facing at all times.
2. Increases are made by working into the top
of the indicated stitch and then by working
around the post of the same stitch.
3. Rounds 16 of blanket are the owls body.
Owls body parts, branches, leaves, and
flowers are worked separately and sewn to
blanket. Leave long tails for sewing when
fastening off.
4. When sewing pieces to blanket, insert the
needle horizontally through the top of the
stitches on the right side of the blanket so
your stitching doesnt show on the wrong
side.
