What you need to know
We’re up to the penultimate animal pairing in our beautiful blanket-along and this time we give our feathered friends the chance to shine. First off, knit a colourful pheasant with a resplendent tail, then create a sweet scene with a wide-eyed owl perched on a tree branch. Finally, finish off with the same corner embroidery that ties all your squares together.
