Owl Hat

I'm back again. Who knows for how long though, at least I can admit my faults... Well I broke out the yarn I had dyed a while back and found a hat pattern to try it out on. More specifically the cute little number that can be here.
I first started looking for a simple basic hat pattern then became intrigued by the ear flap hats, then I realised I don't have a lot of dpns so I was limited by the size needed. The only pattern that I was liking at the time that also required my needle size was the owl hat. I'm very pleased with how it came out and am very happy that everything turned out the way it did. And yes that is the tail that is hangin out there but you will be happy to know when this picture was taken that is the only end that needed to be woven in and just as soon as the pictures were finished and the model (aka the hubby) had taken the hat off I was busy weaving in that end. So it is indeed complete. The yarn as I said earlier was dyed by yours truly. I'm not going on the record here or anything but I believe it was Paton's classic wool in Natural Mix before it was hit with kool-aid. I finished it in about 2 or 3 days so it wasn't too bad at all. It really did turn out great. I would definately recommend this hat.
