Master classes on knitting items with an owl pattern on knitting needles

The "owl" knitting pattern, the diagram and description of which are quite simple, can be knitted from almost any yarn.

The different types of yarn that can be used for knitting are listed in the following table:

Yarn type	Composition and properties	Usage
Woolen	Made from wool of sheep and other animals. Keeps warm, is moisture-resistant, and has a positive effect on blood circulation.	This yarn is often used for knitting sweaters, hats, scarves, socks and mittens.
Cotton	Made of cotton. In some cases, it may include various synthetic additives. Such yarn easily absorbs moisture and allows air to pass through well.	Most often, this yarn is used for knitting summer clothes (light capes, skirts, jumpers).
Silk	Made from fibre produced by the silkworm caterpillar, the yarn has a distinct shine and is very smooth and soft to the touch.	Used for knitting summer clothes (blouses, capes, lace items, skirts) and home items (pillowcases, curtains).
Synthetic	Consists of chemical synthesis components. Polyamide, acrylic, nylon, and capron are used as materials. Products made of synthetic yarn have increased resistance to mechanical impacts (for example, such products practically do not stretch after washing).	It is used for knitting summer clothes, various soft toys, and decorative items.
Mixed	It consists of synthetic, artificial and natural components. The advantages of such yarn are the use of the features of each type of yarn in one product. Clothes made of mixed yarn are pleasant to the touch and do not shrink after washing.	Used for knitting autumn items (blouses, skirts, jumpers, scarves, hats).
