Here we are again, another installment of weekly crochet. This week is our final section in the round shape. We will be adding a bit of texture with a band of popcorns worked in the same colors as the eyes. This will draw the eye from the center out.
This is, again, a rather easy section. The chains between the popcorns can be worked over in the following rounds to hide them, or can be left in the back. I usually do not hide the chains in my work.
Bubo will grow seven rounds this week.

Another section of smooth sailing is complete.
Next week we will begin to add corners. The process of squaring the blanket is a slow one, and we will spend a few weeks working on changing the shape.
As always, take some time to stitch in all of your ends. This is a good place to block your work if you feel it needs a bit of polishing. Should you block, do not put a lot of stretch on your Bubo.
