Many people love owls and I think it’s because they represent wisdom and knowledge. But I also think it’s because they are awesome creatures. This Spotted Owl lives in old forests and woodlands and it mates for life. It doesn’t have babies every year and even when it does decide to have some cute little owlets, it only raises two or three at a time! The parents work as a team to care for them. The owl hen keeps them safe and warm, while the owl coco seeks food. Kinda sounds like a traditional human family!

Now you can bring the Spotted Owl and its rustic woodland beauty into your home by making this double knit potholder featuring the owl resting on an old branch. If you’re unfamiliar with double knitting, this small potholder is a great way to learn this knitting technique. Both sides are the same, except with reversed colors. You’ll get the accomplishment of finishing a beautiful project and the confidence of adding a new skill to your knitting basket.

With this instantly downloadable PDF pattern, you’ll have all the help you need to get started!
This pattern includes written instructions, a chart, and links to video tutorials for the invisible cast on, invisible bind off, slip stitch edging, and I-cord loop. You’ll end up with a professional looking finished project that you’ll be proud to give as a gift or keep and put on display.
