Crochet Owl Hat

I have enjoyed crocheting lately because I found that it is much faster than knitting.  As I don't have a lot of time, I think crochet is perfect for me at the moment.  Recently I crocheted this lovely Owl hat.  I got the free pattern from Daisy Cottage Designs.  Her pattern is only for newborn size and she used worsted weight yarns.  As I didn't have worsted weight yarns on hand and I needed to make a bigger size hat for a two year old, so I had to adjust the pattern slightly.  It is quite simple to adjust, you just have to add a number of HDCs.  Sorry I didn't write down the adjustments.   I really love the end result,  my daughter looks so adorable with this hat on!
