I love very much the owl projects. . Owl for me has a special symbolism and sense. Owls live within the darkness, which includes magic, mystery, and ancient knowledge. Related to the night is the moon, which owls are also connected to. It becomes a symbol of the feminine and fertility, with the moon’s cycles of renewal. Even the mythology relates owl to this wisdom and femininity. For my Cozy Owls Hat for Easter Eggs, I used cotton yarn and a hook 3,5 (E) size. You can choose any yarn that you prefer, is better to use brightly colors and 2-3different colors. I like to use beads eyes or to sew sometimes beads in the eyes to look together in the same direction ex. the noise. When you will join the two sides of the owls, attention please, to make in the begining 2ch and when you will finish the join, 2ch before to cut your yarn. These 2 chains give shape in the owl. I like very much the earflaps and the braids in the end.Enjoy your owl hat and if you will need an explanation, you can write to me.
