Hooot HOOOOT!!

Little owls. I actually made the first few for my fabulous mum and sent them to her.  She has a bit of an owl fascination.

These critters were made from this pattern.  It was my first experience doing a stitch other than a single crochet into a single crochet. The base of these owls  requires that you single crochet into the back loop only (BLO).  It confused the hell out of me until I worked out that I just had to put the hook through one loop of the single crochet.  I think I even had to look it up.
