This pattern was inspired by the Barred Owls that live in the woods behind my house. Barred Owls are known by their unique "Who Cooks For You?" hoot.
The yarn I used in this hat pattern is by Jared Flood. This fingering weight 100% wool yarn is a delight to work with and washes up nicely for a delightfully soft garment.
WHOO NEEDS A NAP? OWL HAT
Living in a wooded lot surrounded by wildlife provides a lot of artistic muses. The inspiration for this pattern is a pair of Barred Owls that have taken up residence behind our house. Barred Owls are known for their unique "who cooks for you" hooting call.
