Owls - The Hoot Family
Introducing the adorable Hoots family – meet Harold, Hilary, and Happy, the charming baby owl! This delightful owl trio is sure to capture your heart as they stand unaided, just waiting for you to bring them to life. Perfect for both beginner and seasoned knitters, this knitting pattern offers a satisfying and enjoyable crafting experience.
Harold, the dad owl, stands proudly at 10cm (4 inches) tall. He is crafted using 3.25mm (No.10/US 3) needles and a combination of DK (light worsted) yarn mixed with a soft mohair blend for the body and head section. For his eyes and wings, you'll use DK yarn alone, allowing for a delightful contrast in texture and appearance.
Next, we have Hilary, the lovely mom owl, who measures 8.5cm (3½ inches) high. Like Harold, she is worked on 3.25mm (No.10/US 3) needles using DK (light worsted) yarn, making her a wonderful addition to your handmade collection.
Last but not least, meet Happy, the adorable baby owl, standing at 7cm (2¾ inches) tall. Happy is knitted using 2.75mm (No.12/US 2) needles and 4ply (sport/fingering) yarn, ensuring he is perfectly petite and oh-so-cuddly!
All three owls are knit flat using traditional two-needle techniques, making this pattern accessible for knitters of all skill levels. The knitting pattern is thoroughly detailed, featuring comprehensive row-by-row instructions and accompanied by numerous photos to guide you through each step of the process!
Whether you’re looking to knit a heartfelt gift or simply want to enjoy a cozy crafting session, the Hoots family is a delightful project that promises to bring joy and whimsy to any home. Grab your needles and start creating your own adorable owl family today!
