Needles:
· A pair of 3.5mm straight knitting needles (US 4)
Notions:
· A darning or tapestry needle to sew the knitted pieces together Sparkly beads to decorate the crown, sewing needle and thread
Yarn:
All DK weight yarns, and less than 50g in each colour: Gold Yellow: for the crown Hayfield Bonus DK in "Sunflower" 978 White: for the trim Hayfield Bonus DK in "White" 961 This yarn was sold in skeins weighing 100g, and one skein in each colour will be more than sufficient to knit the crown.
NOTES
Finished size: The crown is approximately 7cm tall and 7cm diameter. Work flat: All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight knitting needles. Tension: The tension is approximately 6 sts x 8 rows per square inch in stockinette on straight 3.5mm needles. Don't worry too much about tension for this pattern. Casting on: Unless otherwise specified, I prefer to use the long tail cast on for all pieces. Please note: This free knitting pattern is for the crown only. The owl knitting pattern is available to purchase separately.
