The Owl

The Owl is an overly generous sized Faroese shaped shawl, knit from the top down with a knitted on lace border. This shawl is comprised of a center lace panel surrounded by two wings. It is constructed by knitting from two separate charts at the same time. If you are using written directions these charts have been combined.

If you choose to use a gradient shawl set of Unique Sheep’s yarn, directions for transitions are included. Any lace weight yarn can be subsituted. You should plan on needing 1200, though most test knitters were able to make it in less.

Directions are in both written and chart format. This pattern has been laid out with the intent that you should be able to print only the pages you need. Charts and written directions have been separated and the same notes are included on the pages for both.

Be sure to read through the pattern before hitting print as it is highly unlikely you will need all of the pages!
