Crochet Owl Hat Free Pattern
OCTOBER 23, 2018
I have been wanting to design a crochet owl hat for a while now. I don't know what took me so long. Designing animal hats is one of my favorite crochet projects. There are just so many animals to work with! But, I've finally come up with my own original crochet owl hat design. Moreover, I'm really happy with how this little guy turned out. I hope you like my pattern!
How to Customize Your Crochet Owl Hat
I decided to go with a really colorful design for my crochet owl hat. However, if you want a design that's truer to an owl's actual colors, then all you need to do is switch out the main yarn color for this project. Look for browns, whites, and grays that call out to you. You can also make the eyes a little bit smaller or the ears a little bit larger if you want to further customize this crochet owl hat.
I have a printable PDF available in my Etsy shop for the Toddler, Child & Adult sizes of this hat. Click here to go to the listing.
