Owls!

Pink Toddler



Yellow 6-12 Month
Tonight's project comes to you courtesy of my sweet neighbor.  She asked if I could make owl hats for her girls.  Of course I said yes.

No Black Center in the Eyes
 She sent me a picture of the hats she wanted and I lucked out and found the blog attached to the pictures.  On that great blog was the pattern! Yes!  Love that.  Without further ado - here is the link to the pattern.  The blog author asked for credit to be given to her for that pattern, and I am more than happy to do so.  For those of you who crochet out there, this is a quick project.  The best part?  They turn out super cute!  I did stray from the pattern a bit to create a larger size for a toddler, but I used the same premise presented in the pattern on the blog.  The major change is I did not use buttons for the eye centers.  I am not opposed to using them, I just didn't happen to have any at the house when I finished these.  The pink and yellow ones have black crocheted centers.

Christmas is coming!

As crazy as it is to think about Christmas, the truth is this: it is rapidly approaching.  You know there is a home decor item, an afghan, baby item, clothing. or just something new you want.  There is also that hard to shop for person on your list.  I may be able to help you with that also!  Crochet is so versatile something can be found for everyone!

Christmas is not just about the gifts - it is also about the decor!  Garlands, ornaments, tree skirts, and doilies.  The possibilities are endless.  Keep That Yarn Girl in mind as you begin your Christmas shopping lists!
