Hi friends!

This is my newest creation. Actually there is a story behind it. My nephew who is 5 is just fuzzy to have his milk.

I tried all my ways to inspire him with no great luck. Hence I decided to make his cup look fascinating.

That's how I came with an owl shaped crochet cozy with flying wings.

He loves it! Now he is asking me for a tiger cozy.

How to do it??

Notice the "V" stitch below. We have to do hdc from under one leg of the V stitch. Yarn over and then take the crochet hook under right leg of the V stitch.
