Owl in the Thicket Hat

In a leafy thicket hides a little owl, his eyes glinting from between the tangled branches. This slouchy hat features twisted cabled branches and owls hiding in cabled hollows, with leaves accenting the crown. Beads are placed during knitting for the eyes, but can be omitted if desired and buttons used for embellishment after the knitting is completed. A shorter, beanie-style variation is also included. This pattern contains both fully written instructions as well as charts.
