I have had many people request my owl cable ear warmer pattern. So here it is.  I have not had it tested so if you find a mistake let me know.




owl pattern:
OWL CROSS: skip 2 stitches, fptr next 2 st, reach in FRONT of trebles and fptr in each of the skipped stitches.  skip 2 stitch, fptr next 2 st, reach BEHIND of trebles just made and fptr in each skipped stitch
OWL 1: fpdc in each fptr.

*At the end of each row join and ch1, first stitch goes in same stitch as joining. DO NOT TURN!

D hook -toddler size
E hook - child size
F hook - adult size
worsted yarn

  2. What is the finished size? Or dimensions if the adult size? Please

  3. I just finished making this, and it turned out great! Just a quick note for fellow lefties out there: You'll want to either reverse the sequence of the fptr stitches in the owl crosses, or else turn the headband upside down when you're done. I was confused for a minute when I'd finished mine, but figured it out pretty quick. :) Thanks for the great pattern!

    1. I'm a righty and had the same problem, actually. If I were to try again with it (I also made it way too big for myself) I'd reverse the order of the crosses too.

  4. Can someone rewrite this for a lefty?

  5. So you make the owls from the feet up or from the head down?
