What could be nicer than a snugly scarf to wrap up in on those cold winter days? A scarf with a cute owl on, that’s what!

The chunky/bulky yarn knits up quickly and is lovely and warm, and as this is an easy/intermediate pattern, the only skills you need to know are cast/bind on and off, knit, purl and very simple cable. (Even if you’ve never cabled before, you will still be able to do this cable! As long as you’ve got a cable needle!) Line by line instructions in English, with British and American terms.
