I just have to get some buttons before I can continue the mitten. I have to have them finished by the end of the year. I am using the owl pattern on a pair of mittens for my youngest grandson.

It had the same owls on it as you show but it was not a pullover. Are you familiar with that pattern and do you know where I could obtain a copy of it? Thanks so much for your help. I love the owl.

Had a little bit of trouble with this at first, but after a few practice runs and some tweaking I figured it out! For me (and maybe I'm doing the cables wrong), I had to cable front first then cable back, and I used purls for all of the cables instead of normal knits. Also, the ears came to a sort-of point (but too flat) when I did it, so while I was sewing the buttons on I used a little extra thread and sewed the middle of the top lightly back and down and it looks great! I'm pretty excited. Well when I first saw this all I knew how to do was knit simple scarves, but I knew a friend who would really like this so I set off to figuring it out.

So thanks for sharing this blissfully adorable pattern for us, it ingenious so simple yet inspiring, I plan to have one made by the time she gets home from work today.

C4B = slip 2 stitches to a cable needle or dpn, hold that needle to the BACK of the work, knit the next 2 stitches on the left needle, then knit the 2 stitches off of the cable needle (you may return them to the left needle to do this, or just knit them right off of the cable needle). C4F is the same, except you hold the 2 stitches on the cable needle to the FRONT of the work.
