Many needlewomen who are fond of knitting say with confidence that there are never many hats. Every family member has their own hat, connected by a unique attractive pattern. It seems that you can start work on the next masterpiece, for example, a sweater. But there is an unusual new ornament, an original scheme or an attractive model, immediately arms reach out for repetition and improvement of what is seen.
Owl
Today, the Owl pattern is especially popular. To knit it with knitting needles is quite simple. In addition, even novice craftswomen can cope with this task. As a result, soon you can please loved ones with a new accessory.
The Owl pattern is quite popular. It is used in the manufacture of hats, scarves, mittens, mittens, sweaters, etc. The pattern for knitting an owl with knitting needles is simple and straightforward. It is enough to describe and decipher the basic notation.
What needs to be prepared?
First of all, you should decide on yarn and tool. For knitting winter scarves, hats and mittens, you should choose high-quality yarn. It is better to give preference to a thick half-woolen or woolen thread. If you have a suitable yarn, but it is thin, you just need to knit the product in several threads. In addition, you can think about the gradient - a smooth transition from one color to another. Such models are now particularly popular.
You can also knit a hat or mittens with an Owl pattern using the intarsia method. In this case, the main canvas will be of one color, and the owl will be of another color. Such models also look spectacular.
For knitting both hats and mittens, 5 stocking needles should be prepared. You should also prepare one additional or special knitting needle, on which the loops will be removed during the knitting of the pattern.
For work, you should also prepare a centimeter tape, a ruler, markers (for lack of use you can use pins), a thick needle for stitching. You should also pick up decorative elements (beads, rhinestones, buttons, artificial eyes for toys), which will then decorate the finished owl.
A knitting pattern for an owl on a hat should also be prepared.
We take measurements
Now you can start measuring. For each product you need to spend your own. For example, the main indicator for calculating the future hat is the head circumference, for mittens - the circumference of the wrist. Consider the example of knitting hats on a head circumference of 46 cm. This is a children's size. If this size does not suit you, you should take your measurements and calculate the number of loops for a certain circle.
Knitting pattern
Remember, knitting a pattern is a must, even if the size in the description matches yours. After all, you can use other threads, a different number of knitting needles, and the density of knitting for each needlewoman has her own. Since the main fabric of the product will be made with front stitch, you should knit a sample with just such a pattern. The parameters of the sample are 10 x 5 cm. Now, with a flat ruler, measure the shred horizontally and vertically. From these numbers you can calculate how many loops and rows are 1 cm.
At this stage, calculate how many loops should be put on the knitting needles and how many rows of the product should be knitted.
As for the mittens, the circumference of the wrist and the length of the arm should be measured.
Pattern Description
Now we are preparing a scheme for knitting an owl with knitting needles. She will help both beginners and experienced needlewomen.
For a head circumference of 46 cm, 82 loops should be typed. Remember that you must calculate this indicator yourself. We distribute these loops on 4 knitting needles, close the knitting in a circle.
The scheme of knitting an owl consists of 29 rows. The total number of rows of caps may vary, depending on size. If you want to knit a larger hat, then you just need to knit the required height on the top and bottom of the owl with the selected pattern. You can use handkerchief, facial smoothness or pearl pattern.
The description of the knitting owl scheme is presented in an accessible form, so the novice needlewoman can easily and beautifully knit this attractive pattern.

If you want to knit a small children's hat, then the whole picture will easily fit on the central part of the headgear. The back of the cap is most often knitted with facial stitch.
Often needlewomen make a kit. For example, it is enough to simply knit mittens with knitting needles. The scheme and description of the owl is the same as for the cap.
Decorative elements: brushes and ears, eyes
Today, caps with ears are especially popular . Therefore, many needlewomen are interested in how to properly knit these elements. For beginners, it's best to leave it as it is. After all, we knit a practically square product, and when stitched from above, the sharp corners look the same as the ears. This problem is solved by itself.
To emphasize that these corners are really the ears of an owl, they should be highlighted. To do this, you can use brushes that will look spectacular on the headgear. We prepare the yarn from which the product was knitted and cut the strings about 10 cm long. The volume of these decorative elements also depends on the number of threads. If you want magnificent brushes - use more yarn.
Fold the cut threads in half and gently bind them in the central part. We align the tips and sew to the corners of the cap.
We highlight the eyes with buttons, beads or other decorative elements.
