What could be nicer than a snugly scarf to wrap up in on those cold winter days? A scarf with a cute owl on, that’s what! The chunky/bulky yarn knits up quickly and is lovely and warm, and as this is an easy/intermediate pattern, the only skills you need to know are cast/bind on and off, knit, purl and very simple cable. (Even if you’ve never cabled before, you will still be able to do this cable! As long as you’ve got a cable needle!)
And it comes in 4 sizes - toddler, child, adult and large adult. Why not knit one for the whole family? Great for presents as well.
Yarn recommendations are given, although any chunky/bulky yarn is going to work as tension/gauge is not so important for scarves.
Line by line instructions are given, in English, with British and American terms.
You can match this scarf with matching owl hats, fingerless mitts, mittens, ponchos etc. etc., so please look at my other patterns. Thank you!

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/
