Can you imagine this magnificent bird sitting atop a totem pole? This bird of prey has powerful talons, and has just had a successful hunt---a salmon is in its belly.

This is a double-knit square, approximately 12” x 12”. It makes a nice large potholder or a good-sized afghan square. It is part of the Epic Lap Blanket Series.

The pattern is charted, and requires the ability to double-knit back and forth rows, do a closed selvedge, read a chart, cast on and bind off. No increasing or decreasing is required.

You will need two contrasting-color fingering weight yarns, approximately 220 yards of each. This pattern can be made in any weight yarn or any needle size, but the gauge will change, as will the fabric size.
