Owl Hat

Owl Hat

OCTOBER 23, 2018

I have been wanting to design an owl hat for a while now.  Designing animal hats is one of my favorite crochet projects and I'm really happy with how this little guy turned out. I hope you like my pattern!

- Crochet Hook: H 5 mm & I 5.5 mm or hook needed to obtain gauge
- tapestry needles
- stitch markers
- Yarn: worsted weight in black, white, mint green, light purple and yellow

0/3 months - adult

15 dc= 4" and 10 rows= 4"

-hat is worked from the top down

-the ch 2 at the beginning of each round never counts as your first stitch
