Owliver Twist

Welcome to our adorable "Chubby Owl" hat knitting pattern, perfect for babies and toddlers! This charming hat design features a rolled brim, a delightful purl ridge acting as a "branch," and an intricately crafted chubby owl cable that stands out against a cozy backdrop of stockinette stitch. Your little one will love sporting this whimsical accessory!

To knit this delightful chubby owl hat, we recommend using a soft, chunky weight yarn to ensure comfort and warmth. Aim for a gauge of 3 stitches per inch (12 stitches per 10 cm) for the best results. Reliable options for yarn include Plymouth Encore Chunky and Cascade 128, both of which provide the perfect thickness and softness. If you prefer, you can also achieve the desired gauge by using a worsted weight yarn held double. In this case, you will need approximately 160 to 220 yards of worsted weight yarn to complete the project successfully.

As a note for our dedicated crafters, please be aware that there is a small error on line 10 of the owl pattern. The corrected line should end with "to 5 sts before marker, p2tog, k3...". Thank you for your understanding, and special thanks to Lynn for bringing this to our attention!

Get ready to create a warm and enchanting headpiece that your little one will wear with pride. Our "Chubby Owl" hat knitting pattern is not just a practical choice; it is also a fun project that adds a touch of whimsy to any child’s wardrobe. Happy knitting!
