Cabled Owl Washcloth
The tradition of knitting cabled owls traces its roots back to the 1970s, when crafters first began to incorporate these charming creatures into their needlework. Over the decades, the cabled owl motif has endured, evolving in style and technique while maintaining its timeless appeal. Here, I present my rendition of this beloved design, crafted with crochet stitches, adding a contemporary twist to a classic tradition.

Thank you so much for this great pattern. Thank you also for answering every comment and question. And you have done it for 3 years…Wow. I’ve seen many comment sections where the first few questions are answered and then there is no more word from the author ever.

You are so welcome. Thanks so much for checking it out. 🙂

The written pattern is only downloading the first page. I would really like to make this into a cowl.
Deja Jetmir
Hi there, I’m able to download all three pages. I’m using google chrome to download. What browser are you on?

This is a fantastic tutorial and I CANNOT wait to implement it into my project. One question- I am making a crochet basket and want to add the owl to it. The basket is being made with HDC though. Do you think that will affect the outcome of the pattern if I continue using HDC? Thanks!
Deja Jetmir
Hi there, thanks so much for the kind words. If you switch to DC for your post stitches you should be okay. So HDC everything but the post stitches. 🙂
Lynn
Thank you. I’ll see how it turns out!!!
Lynn
Uuummmm, well, I didn’t realize this was crocheted UPSIDE DOWN! Maybe that could be a little clearer in the video? 🙂 Going to try to figure this out since the “head” is finished. We’ll see how it turns out.
Deja Jetmir
Sorry about that. it states it in the pattern. 🙁

Thank you for the video – pdf file combination! This pattern makes a beautiful washcloth, I’m very happy with the results. You are creative and inventive. For new observers of the video, I found enlarging to fill screen is helpful.

I’m going to give this a try (gulp) as a bottom border for a blanket…. I’ve added it to my “to do” list here: http://crochet.community/entries/32-throw-blankets

Thank you ever so much Deja. I didn’t realize to scroll down below the info to get the pattern and now I have the pattern. It is just the cutest. I love it.

Cool, glad you got it. 🙂
Jessica
I love this. Could it be used to make a blanket? Kind of how you would make a granny square blanket?
crocheteverafter
You could definitely make squares to sew together. Or you could make a running border around a blanket with them, that could be cute as well. 🙂
Sue Ray
I think of using the owl pattern on a Scoodie, which is worked in rounds, should I skip the sc rows??? Thank You
crocheteverafter
You can do it either way. If your rows are not very straight (different heights from the cables) then you can do the Sc rows to get them more even.
