Owl Crochet Beanie

This is a long overdue post. He He He. I've been wanting to post the pattern for the Owl Crochet Beanie that I made for my twins. It's a newborn size and now that they are one year olds, it doesn't fit them anymore. We already gave it to our relatives.

I used different yarn colors and 5.00mm hook for this project. Below are the instructions.

STEPS:

*ch 4 sl st to form a circle

*ROUND1- ch3, 11dc

*ROUND2- 24dc

*ROUND3 - 48dc

*ROUND4 - 48dc

*ROUND5 - ROUND8 - 48dc

*ROUND9 - ROUND13 - on a diff color 48dc

Earflaps

*count 6 left & right and put a marker

*from 6 count to 16 & put a marker left & right

*from the 6th (with marker) 3ch, dc until the next marker. 2nd row, 2ch, get one strand pull to the 2nd ch get another strand pull until 4 strands then pull all (this is called decrease)

*dc until the last 2 and make another decrease

*ch1 make another decrease & dc until the last 2 & make another decrease

*ch2 make another decrease & another decrease last row for ear flap

*make another one on the other side

*sc the sides

Added yarns on the earflap for the hair. Braided on desired length.
