I was wondering if any of you knitters out there had a pattern for a hat similar to this piccy. http://s6.thisnext.com/media/largest_di ... 0DF12E.jpg Number one daughter and I spotted a little knitted owl handbag when we were last out shopping, and she would love one but at £16 I was sure I could knit one and put it in her Christmas stocking. I found this image of an owl hat which I could easily adjust, but I can't find a pattern for something similar. It doesn't have to be an owl, just a pattern with the pointy up bits. I will keep looking, but just in case one of you have a pattern to hand, I thought I would ask.
EJ I know these hats aren't exactly the same as the one you want but have a look and see if they can be adapted: http://evelynnsmommy.blogspot.com/2009/ ... ttern.html http://hammerandthread.blogspot.com/201 ... stume.html I did find piccies of the one you want but, sadly, no pattern was available.
Thanks Eileen...I might be able to play around with the second one. Honestly, there are a trillion free knitting patterns out there, just not the one I want!
It looks like the hat's made like a tube that you sow up on top. The eyes seem chrocheted and sown on. The beak could be a knitted triangle sown together and mounted on the hat. The edge at the bottom is just a rolled-up piece of the tube, probably fastened with a few stitches. I love the design. If I had the time and inclination I might try to duplicate it.
