My BEST Hat by Far =o)

Well, I have been wanting to make one of those owl hats with the ear flaps and the super cute BIG eyes, but while looking for a pattern (preferably a knit pattern) I came across a pattern for my newest challenge. I am soooo excited to show you!!!  I really LOVE it!!! I have Hailey posing it for the photo...but I have been wearing it like crazy and I even got a compliment from one of my neighbors too! "beautiful" and a surprised look when I told her I made it myself and just finished it only last night. =o)
