Miss Lexi recently celebrated her ninth birthday, so I wanted to make her a present to celebrate her special day.
This year, I crocheted a Hedwig the Owl earflap hat, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Lexi's a fan of the Harry Potter book series, so I immediately knew that this was the project to make!
I used the Snowy Owl Crochet Hat free pattern in the size 6-10 years.
Modifications to the Pattern
For the most part, I completed this pattern exactly as described with only minor modifications:
- I did an extra round of SC in gray on each eye to make them extra big.
- I did not include the extra "fluff" between the eyes.
- I did not use a wire brush to fluff the ends of the braided tails or ears.
- I trimmed the ears to approximately 2 1/2" so that they were a little longer than the 1" ears described in the pattern.
Overall this is just a really fun pattern that I think any Harry Potter fan would be happy to have it. Whoooo wouldn't love to have a Hedwig the Owl hat? (See what I did there?)
