What you need to know

Use aran yarn and easy stitches in Amanda Berry's cute home or toy knitting pattern

In fairy tales and cartoons, owls have a famous association with being clever and scholarly, so we think Oscar will feel perfectly at home perched on a bookshelf as a playful way of keeping your tomes upright. The great thing about Oscar is you can design him to suit your own style - for example, Amanda used block colours for her version of Oscar but you could use Swiss darning on his front to add little v shaped stitches for the owl’s feathers. Plus, as well as keeping guard of your books, Oscar makes a super toy for children! Download this simple knitting pattern today.
