What you need to know

Create adorable stripy owls toys with this step-by-step knitting pattern.

This easy owl project uses stripes and basic stitches to create two charming bird gifts. If you’re not confident with your colour changes, we recommend that you use this opportunity to practise neat transitions between each stripe and try carrying the yarn up the side of your work instead of cutting it each time – this will save you having to weave in as many ends. We can’t wait to see your finished results!

What do I need?
