For Xmas, the only gifts I handmade were these owl hats. I had told one of our friends that I had a student asking to learn how to make an owl hat, and the friend mentioned that she attempted it but was unsuccessful due to wrist pains.
Since I got the pattern anyway, I wanted to make something for them. So, this is the men's version of the hat. I know, irony abound, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Pattern is based on
Daisy Cottage but I used the guidelines for adult hats to expand that. I found a good reference for sizes
here. Lady's version tomorrow!
As promised, this is the Ladies version of the hat yesterday. 
I used buttons for eyes instead of the amigurumi locked eyes, simply because if you're wearing it, you don't want something to keep poking at you. So, I decided on the button instead.
The ears, I accidentally used the nose pattern, but it came out pretty good. So, maybe give it a try.
