Owl Blanket Graph
One common way that people make crochet owl blankets is by using the corner to corner method. Also called C2C, this technique allows you to build up an image little by little – just like how electronics create images out of tiny pixels. Just look at how cute this method can be with this sleepy purple owl.

You’ve probably heard of granny square blankets before, but have you heard of granny hexagon blankets? That’s right, the Night Owl Blanket is made up of individual granny hexagon motifs that are then sewn together.
