Easy and versatile pattern, adapts to fit all head sizes.
Knit on size 8 (US) 14” circular needles. I have also used size 10 (US) needles and had a cute hat with a quicker knit (and bigger gauge).
Cable needle, darning needle, and size 8 dpns needed or you can use the magic loop method for crown decreases. If using wool block on a ball. Sew on owl eyes with buttons, or if this is for a little one stitch on the eyes or leave them as is.
