Owl Crochet Pattern
By Jennifer Orengo from Crochet PR
This pattern came to life when one of my Beginner's Crochet Class students was going to turn 17 years old in just a few days. The other crochet students talked with me and ask if we can organize a little birthday surprise at lunch time. Absolutely I said yes. Then came to my mind: "What I'm going to give as my birthday gift?" Then I said to myself: "Just do it yourself! Remember you crochet! " That night I began to write everything about the owl. I came came out with the pattern and also the pictures of the process. The day of the birthday surprise arrived and guess what, the student love the present. Lot's of love to my student: Nyrlemi!
