Notes

Made for baby #2 for niece/nephew from Brazil. Colors a tribute to Brazilian flag.

Used techniques from my other blankets, especially assembling in “strips” to make it easier to add beaks and eyes and then to “zip” a seam all the way down. Left about 36” of a tail when finishing each motif and used it to piece together each strip.

Used border by Patrice Juelfs. <3 <3 <3 the look of this and it was super easy: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/patricejuelfs/owl-obsession

Also incorporates:
Flat Zipper Join - http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/join-c...

Embroidered eyes - http://www.craftimism.com/2013/06/embroidered-eye-tutoria...

Finished size (w/o border): 33” x 33”
Finished size with border: 38” x 38”
