I found the cutest little owl applique pattern to put onto a granny square or whatever. I just used some beads for the eyes, or you could use black buttons or whatever you like. Any color you would like...I used a DK yarn, in turquoise and a rusty color and a 4 mm hook. Another great way to use up bits of yarn.
Isn't this little guy just the cutest!
