      At the bottom of each post there is a PDF option 🙂 if the pin it button pops up on it, click to the left of it so you do not pin it 😀

    Thankyou so much for your easy to follow hat pattern. Every year here in Fife,Scotland we havea craft challenge and this year the theme is owls. They are sold at the Pittenweem Arts Festival and all money goes to charity. I made it in dark green tweedy wool and ecru cotton
