Vintage Owl Cushion Pattern Re-Mixed
Here are baby, mummy and daddy owl. Knit from a vintage pattern unearthed by my mother. Knit in Amy Butler Belle Organic Aran yarn, a 50% organic wool and 50% organic cotton blend. I used shell buttons from John Lewis for the eyes and a square of grey felt to make the beaks. Stuffed with washable toy stuffing.
These are a gift for my niece Annabell for her 2nd birthday, I got baby and mummy done before her birthday but have only just finished daddy (hence two pictures).
I am very please with them, they are a bit bigger than I had expected but the pattern does describe them as cushions not toys. I will be tempted to knit baby again if someone wants a little toy.

Do you know where I could get this very cute pattern?
ReplyDeleteI have this pattern somewhere. I saw it on ebay too. I have made lots over the years and have some on Etsy.
