A cute family of owls, all in a line. This cushion cover knits up quickly with chunky/bulky yarn and will look great in any colour.

The pattern is easy/intermediate, as you will need to know how to cast/bind on and off, knit, purl, and simple cabling. (Even if it’s your first time cabling, you will be able to, it’s that easy!) If you want the optional buttonholes, then you will need to know yarn forward and knitting 2 stitches through the back of the loop, as well. Line by line instructions in English, with British and USA terms.

This is an envelope cushion cover to enable easy insertion of the cushion on the reverse side, with the choice of buttons and buttonholes, or not.

Fun to knit and a great addition to your home!
