I have a fun tutorial for all you crocheters ( is that a word?) out there. I have seen owl hats like these and thought they were pretty cute. So I made two of them for my little girls. This was my first time making up my own crochet pattern. So I apologize in advance if it doesn't make sense, or if it isn't the "proper" way to crochet. I will post another tutorial for the other hat, tomorrow. It is still an owl hat, but a little bit different than this one. I think it is even cuter. Don't forget to enter our give away for the cute Halloween decoration!
