Hello internet friends!  I’m enjoying a wintery vacation in Wisconsin and have been knitting loads.  First of all, I made this gigantic owl for my great-niece!  It’s crazy!!

This is the Big Snowy Owl from Purl Soho. This is the third one I’ve made, and I highly recommend it!

Next knitted a cowl with the leftover yarn for my sister-in-law, then I looked for a super bulky cabled hat for myself.  I couldn’t find a pattern that I liked except for a Vicky Howell pattern that was only available with some kind of subscription, so I decided to try to come up with one myself.  I did so, and decided to publish the pattern for free on Ravelry.  Here it is!

It’s very easy and super fast.  For a larger head, I’d suggest adding about 5 stitches to the stockinette section.

I still had yarn left, so I came up with a pattern for a slouchy, bulky hat in stockinette.  Maybe I’ll publish that pattern next.

Happy knitting!
