Are you a Night Owl? Then this is the cowl for you.

Whilst the pretty candle pattern represents a must have light source for those of us who like to stay up late, there is another aspect to this design. Turn the cowl the other way and the pattern takes on a feathery feel, which no self respecting owl would be without!

Knitted in the round, the pattern is fairly easy to knit and surprisingly intuitive so it's perfect if you're looking for a quick, simple lace work pattern. It also only takes one skein of DK yarn and is an excellent weekend project.

The cowl itself has an elegant, cosy feel. It's perfect for autumnal walks or wintry jaunts and is an interesting addition to your wardrobe.

Happy knitting!
