Owl Experience Level: 2 OWLS (intermediate)

Finished measurements blocked: 124 inches long x 5.5 inches wide measured flat.

Yarns used: Worsted weight yarn such as:
Cascade 220, 100 g - 220 yds - 200 m, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool.
MC: BLACK color # 8555 - 4 skeins
CC1: NATURAL color # 8010 - 3 skeins

Tension/gauge:
Work 18 sts and 20 rows to measure 4x4” in St stitch in the round using US 7 or 4.5 mm needles with MC. Use needles necessary to get gauge.

Notions:
A pair of US 7 (4.5mm) circular needles 16 long,
OR use double pointed needles, OR you could use 2 sets of circular needles (simply knit half of the stitches on one set, and the other half of the stitches on the other set.)
I went with a 16” circular. It is a little on the tighter side, but as long as you get gauge you should be ok! 2 stitch markers, tapestry needle.
