Use Fan and Feather Stitch to knit a new toy with this adorable owl by Amanda Berry

Whether you give her to a friend, a loved one or even keep her for yourself, Olive the sleepy owl is bound to be adored by everyone who meets her. She's knitted using a classic Fan and Feather stitch which creates a pretty wave effect. Provided all the knitted pieces are sewn securely in place, she is even a safe gift for younger children as there are no small parts used for embellishment. The seam runs up the centre back to keep the chevron pattern correct. Download this sweet toy knitting pattern today and knit it using aran yarn.
