Wanna stay up late tonight? Then these are the owls for you. Meet “Hoot” and “Holler,” the original nighttime party animals.

They know all the best nightspots for big adventures and late-night snacks. Yes siree, from drafty old barns to spooky dark forests, these two can find all the action. And as long as you like eating field mice, you’ll love the treats that Hoot and Holler help you find. What’s that you say? You’d rather go to bed after all? Well, that’s okay. Hoot and Holler will enjoy your share of the mice.

Note: Finished size is easily adjusted through blocking.

Construction: Slippers are worked from toe to heel, then felted.

You will also need: Orange and white wool felt scraps, for the eye and beak details.
