Skipped a decrease in the back since I wanted a little more room in my ever-growing midsection.

Buttons are a combination of coconut, wood and faux tortoise shell. I chose different but similar buttons, so it wouldn’t just look like a row/line (which I think all uniform buttons would have turned out). They allow the opportunity to better see each individual owl, without being so different that it looks haphazard. I’m very happy with how this project turned out and have already been asked by one stranger to make one for her (always the best compliment a knitter can get).
