Olivia the Owl is a part of my #nopressurepatterns series: small, projects you can make with leftover yarn, in one evening, without stress.

What makes Olivia special:

• tiny ear tufts made from two knots - using the yarn tail from the cast-on, so no extra yarn or sewing is needed,
• pointy wings - a small twist on my usual bobble that you can pull into shape,
• a classic owl face and belly in duplicate stitch, following a simple chart,
• an embroidered beak and feet.

Inside the pattern:

• the full body worked in the round on two parallel needles,
• step-by-step instructions for the pointy bobble, duplicate stitch and Kitchener stitch,
• a chart for the face and belly,
• photos for every step that needs them.

Details:

• yarn: some yarn in an owl colour + small amounts of light/cream, black and yellow
• needles: DPNs (or one long circular needle for Magic Loop),
• level: adventurous beginner
• language: English
