This sweet owl needs friends – he’s very cuddly and likes to sit on your sofa! Superchunky/superbulky yarn makes for an up-to-date and super-quick knit.
The pattern is easy/intermediate, as you will need to know how to cast/bind on and off, knit, purl, and simple cabling. (Even if it’s your first time cabling, you will be able to, it’s that easy!) Line by line instructions in English, with British/American terms.
This is an envelope cushion cover to enable easy insertion of the cushion on the reverse side. There is an optional button band on the reverse if you prefer a button closure. To fit cushion 42cm x 42cm/ 16.5in x 16.5in, (although cushions from 38cm/15in square to 46cm/18in square should also be suitable).
Fun to knit and a great addition to your home!
The Lonely Sea - Heather Corcoran
I have a bag that say ' I knit therefore I am' - sums me up perfectly! I love to knit and love to design! I have knitted for years, and made and sold literally hundreds of owl gloves and fingerless mitts on-line. About 8 years ago, I decided to give designing and writing patterns a go, and I absolutely love it! The whole process is absolutely captivating, and I love to see other knitters' projects made from my patterns. My beautiful cavvy, Honey, is my constant companion, and she sleeps next to me on the settee while I knit. You can also find me on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thelonelyseapatterns/
