It’s a Hoot!,, An Afghan Block worked with beautiful cables to create an Owl in a richly textured square. The “owls” eyes are buttons which are attached during the actual crochet work and not sewn after. So no sewing on later!!!

Very versatile pattern includes directions to create an 8 Inch Solid Block or a 10 Inch Block with a Granny edging for those who prefer to join squares with the join-as-you go method.

Create a dishcloth, baby afghan, bedspread, lapghan etc as you wish.

Square sizes given are worked with an H hook and Caron Simply Soft yarn. Standard 5/8 Inch buttons were used, but pony beads may be used as well. You can find glow in the dark pony beads inexpensively at Walmart and those could be used for the eyes,, how cute would that be for a glow in the dark blankie!

Due to the cabling design this is not a beginner pattern. Knowledge of front post crochet is needed.
