Kara's Owl Throw
Includes a full-size gray and white chart, plus printable chart sections for ease of use.
Designed for double knitting, this fully reversible throw is worked flat from the bottom up. The pattern provides row-by-row visual instructions through charting only—no written instructions included.
Suggested yarn: Worsted weight in two highly contrasting colors. Sample shown in black and white for a photographic effect.
Finished size: Approx. 45” x 50” (114.3 cm x 127 cm), depending on your tension.
Gauge note: Gauge is not critical for this project. Slight variations in tension will affect the final size but not the success of the design.
Needles & materials: Standard knitting needles for worsted weight yarn; no additional tools required.
When I began double knitting five years ago, I used Red Heart Comfort (100% acrylic) for its easy care. Any worsted weight yarn can be used.
The pattern includes two different cast-on options and two bind-off techniques—choose your favorite for a personalized finish.
This design was created for my daughter, Kara, and features a bold owl perched on a fencepost. It’s an heirloom-style project: meditative to knit and visually striking when complete—perfect for knitters ready to explore double knitting or create something meaningful and unique.
The finished throw isn’t just cozy—it’s a conversation piece and a confidence-builder. You’ll walk away with a stunning reversible knit and the deep satisfaction of having mastered a beautifully complex project.
