"I just recently designed a hooded unicorn blanket before Christmas and its sales have been doing amazing. After making the unicorn, I could totally see it working amazing for an owl, the fringe replicating the feathery wings. I also used a more detailed shell stitch to give the blanket a beautiful feathered look. I was certain that people would love it because the continuing popularity of owls. When I started designing hats, owls were always a top seller and one of my favourite designs to make. I had no idea that this design would go viral but the blanket is beautiful and people are obsessed with owls so I guess it just clicked like magic for people to rapidly start sharing. The design was brand new—just released on Tuesday. That evening's Facebook post had 1.6 million views when I woke up Wednesday morning, and has continued to skyrocket in views since. Before the owl went viral, I was at 37,000 page Likes and now my Facebook page is at 104,000 and growing."

We can hardly wait to see what pattern this entrepreneur releases next.
