Owlie Shawl - toddler, child, adult
A snuggly, owlie shawl, with a line of owls along one edge. 3 sizes means one for all the family, and great as presies for others.
This is knitted in the same way as an asymmetrical shawl, except you start large and decrease. The end result is virtually a triangle, with the decrease edge running along the top. The skill level is easy/intermediate, as you need basic skills and simple cabling, simple even if it’s your first time! Instructions are written line by line in English, with British/American terms. There is a front cover that can be omitted when printing, if desired.
A warm over-coat scarf for a Winter’s walk or a cosy cool summer’s eve shawl. Lots of matching owl patterns available.

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 5 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/
