Owls is a slouchy beanie that has a row of textured owls with beaded eyes and a flat folded crown. There are no decreases for the crown – the hat is knitted in the round as a tube and finished with a kitchener bind off with the corners tucked in.

There are 2 options for the brim: a double stockinette brim for extra warmth or a snuggier ribbed brim.

Pattern instructions for the owls are both written and charted.

Hats shown were knit with Malabrigo Rios (Worsted weight, 100% Wool) in Sunset (yellow hat in size M) and Madelinetosh DK (DK weight, 100% Wool) in Leopard (grey hat in size M)

Test knitted only by me.
