What a hoot! Knitted owl phone cover

Continuing my love of all things woodland animal related, I’ve had this knitted owl phone cover on my ravelry 'to-knit' list for ages. And after finishing various knitted bits for other people I fancied a quick knit that was just for me!

Two evenings is all it took to make this cute little owl, it was a slight lesson in perseverance though as I had to restart three times before I was happy with my cabling technique and wool choice (FYI thinking it’ll do and using a normal needle is not the same as a cable needle and will create rather large, annoying holes). 

Here’s the pattern - as it’s meant for an ipod I added a few extra stitches so it would fit my phone and I think I have an idea to make it look even neater next time.  I’d also like to try it in a few different wools; as I think it would make a lovely gift for someone.

Twit twoo.

  2. That is adorable - I love your yarn color choice too! Wish I could get my head around knitting, I can crochet till the cows come home, but knitting - nope! Too many knots and holes!

    1. I think it depends which you learn first - enjoying learning crochet but don't really 'get it' yet, knitting is much easier! X

  3. Oh my heck how amazing! I am too scared to go near a cable needle yet - I'll work my way up to those bad boys after circular needles (bought them but unsure what to do with them) x
