Solitary Owl is all alone and wants to come and live in your house!

The pattern is easy/intermediate, as you will need to know how to cast/bind on and off, knit, purl, and simple cabling. (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 English, with British and American terms throughout. Full support if needed - I am always willing to help.
