Crochet Newborn Owl Hat

Hope you had a nice weekend. It was pretty quiet here, just the way I like. I had time to make this little newborn hat for a friend: 

I did not create this pattern, but you can find it and make your own on Projects Around the House.

I'm not great at following patterns. Usually, when I crochet it's just made up on the fly. The fact that this one turned out fairly close to what the original looks like says a lot about the clarity of her instructions. Also, the idea of using a jar to show a baby hat is brilliant. Thanks Christine!

The only thing the pattern leaves out are the things you need to make a truly great Saturday morning...



My friend let me borrow the first season of New Girl. I hadn't seen it before which seemed to surprise everyone. According to them, Jess (the Zooey Deshanel character) and I are the same person.I'm not sure sure about that but some of the similarities were a little weird. We even have the exact same set of fake hillbilly teeth...

Soon I'll be working on a series of crochet basics for lefties. It's surprisingly hard to find that stuff. I've looked. Do you crochet? Are you a pattern user or a do you make it up yourself? I'd love to know.
