These 4 cute owls and long cables will look stunning in your house! Chunky/bulky yarn makes for a faster knit and a fashionable look.

The pattern is intermediate, as you will need to know how to cast/bind on and off, knit, purl, and simple cabling, following a pattern for the cables and knitting the owls at the appropriate places. (Even if it’s your first time cabling, you will be able to, it’s that easy!) This is an envelope cushion cover to enable easy insertion of the cushion on the reverse side.

*Fun to knit and a great addition to your home!*

Knitted on 2 needles and sewn up the sides.

Instructions are written line by line and are easy to follow. The pattern is in English with British and American terms. Full support if needed - I am always willing to help.
