Sarah Owl Pompom Hat and Cowl - adult
Sarah Owl was a character in a book I used to read to my daughter Sarah when she was young. We read it so often, we both knew the text off by heart! And now she’s all grown up, she’s my lovely model! The pattern allows different stitch textures to shine, with owls thrown in for good measure!
It is an intermediate knit, with very simple cabling, each item knitted flat on two needles and sewn together. Any chunky/bulky yarn should be okay, although yarn recommendations are given in the pattern. Instructions are written line by line in English, with British/American terms.
A cosy, fashionable knit, for getting out and about. Matching poncho and gloves available.
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/
