Miranda, the owl started as a donation for my local library. Each summer the library has summer reading program for children and they receive for every 15 minutes of reading raffle ticket.
People donate prizes and children can put their tickets to boxes for a chance to win that particular prize. My knitted owls were some of the prizes the children could win every week.
The librarians told me that the owls were among the children's favorites.
Now everyone has a chance to knit their own Miranda, the owl. The knitting pattern is available to purchase on Ravelry or by clicking on this button.
Miranda, is approximately 8'(20cm) tall. The toy is knitted in the rounds, the pattern contains charts for the fair isle/stranded color work technique and written instructions with photographs. You will need less then a ball of two colors each, two funky buttons for the eys or safety eyes and small amount of yarn for the beak.
Happy Knitting.
Thank you for visiting.
