Whimsical and warm, this charming owl cocoon-style bomber cape gets a lot of attention. The comfy hood topped with tassels and googly eyes make this a unique piece. Based on simple rectangles, this is a quick knit in two colors of super bulky yarn. The lush textured stitches play up the thick, luxurious coziness and are both fun and easy to knit and to wear.
