Yarn Alternatives
Any DK-weight cotton will achieve a similar effect. ShengTang yarn can be difficult to find in the UK – we suggest Stylecraft Classique Cotton in Leaf, Seville, Sunflower and White as an alternative.
Errata
Unfortunately the instructions for the owl’s beak were missing. To work the beak, thread a darning needle with yarn D and secure the yarn at the back of the motif in the section between the eyes. Then work six stitches into the row below, working the stitches next to each other at the top end but into the same space at the bottom end to form a triangle shape.
