Hawold the Howl

Hi, You may have noticed a new page on my website for Hawold the Howl.

Not sure about you but I love Owls, Owls are fun, Owls are cute, Owls are wise, Owls remind us of the importance of the natural world.

Last year I knitted an owl out of hand spun wool, no pattern, I just let the shape form. I was really pleased how it turned out. That was Olly. Olly was popular with my friends so I made another and wrote down the pattern. Meet Hawold, I tested pattern again and Yulia appeared.

Then it was Christmas so Hawold had a hat, came second in a fun christmas competition and went on his travels

A friends knitted an owl – thanks Frances. and crocheted the eyes as Owly was for a baby

Another friend knitted an Owl so Harnold was born and he went on his travels

Harold is very fond of his knotted handkerchief hat in the sun

In view of Hawold’s popularity I thought why not share the pattern more widely, raise mental health awareness and ask people to donate to Mind in exchange for the pattern.

The pattern is a free down load on Ravelry Hawold and friends

or down load pattern here

I would love you to
