The Owls Have It

By far my most requested design is the owl earflap.   I've made them for babies up to adults, with heavy yarn, glittered yarn and everything in between, with open eyes and sleepy eyes . . . and my pattern is still evolving!




At this point I decided I hated the stupid tab ear things that were from the first pattern I tried before making my own.  And I started adding a contrasting trim.




And I like the eyes closer together.



Then I started doing a little widow's peak at the bottom.



I like the peak, but think it looks better if it starts in the bottom row and not in the trim.



But my favorite so far is made with the shell-stitch to resemble feathers!
