Dr. Owl
February 18, 2014
Dr. Owl uses simple cables to form his body and branches and is knit with the color Granite, a gorgeous medium gray (there are several grays in the line) and a tiny scrap of Apple for the leaves. Medium or light colors are best for Dr. Owl as you won't be able to find him if you knit this in a dark color. Cables are funny that way.
I hope if you make Dr. Owl, you'll let me know and share a picture with me! The pattern is very easy to follow and easily customizable to fit any size hot water bottle. But if you have any questions, let me know and I'll help you out!

ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations! Dr. Owl is very cute!
ReplyDeleteSo I uploaded all the patterns to the popular Share Your Free patterns Pinterest board, and yours got the most re-pins! Now it's my turn to make it and show us both off. :))))
ReplyDeletecan someone explain to me how this can be knitted on a normal pair of needles - surely it needs to be circular, knitting in the round? my friend thinks it should be on 4 needles but the pattern doesn't give any clues
ReplyDeleteHi! The pattern is knit in the round as specified and calls for a size 7 circular needle that is 40 cm. or 16 inches long. (When measuring circular needles, measure tip to tip, not just the cord.) You could alternatively knit this on dpns. See information below from the pattern:
DeleteYarn: 1 Rowan Pure Wool Worsted, colour Granite
plus scrap of contrasting yarn for leaves
Needles: US 7 (41/2mm) circular needle, 40cm long
2 markers, cable needle, darning needle
2 small, two-hole buttons for eyes
Gauge: 20 stitches x 25rows per 4 inches (10cm)
I forgot to add, thank you for showing interest in the pattern and hope you will enjoy making it!
DeleteYou make my day when you make a comment!
