I used a variegated yarn for this wee hat. I was worried it might be a bit girly because of the light teals however Ian thought the opposite!! It just goes to show how different people view different colours. As I used a 4mm hook instead of the 5mm advised in the pattern I added an extra 'growing' row and an extra row to add more depth.
This pattern in so easy and quite adaptable for different sizes. I've already made two of these and can see a few more being made over the next weeks for various babies!
A friend of mine quite likes owls and I spotted a crochet pattern on Pinterest which I thought she might like. However, she's not that confident at crocheting so I thought I would give it a go.
I think that these wee owls would look great on a mobile, though I should practice those french knots of the baby will think owl's eyes are two different sizes!!
