Sleepy Owl Mask

I have yet to make this mask and I really want to. This is a good project if you have a lot of scrap yarn or half skeins lying around. If you'll notice, none of my patterns have yarn color choices because I like to give you the option of picking your own colors. Everything you make should be totally customizable. So once I post pictures of the things I make, be free!! You don't need to do these projects in the colors I choose. With that said, here's the pattern!

Yarn: Medium worsted weight in a variety of colors
Hook Size: J (6.00mm)
Ribbon
Small piece of fleece
