Oule is a cozy stranded colourwork beanie adorned with a repeating owl motif that circles the hat over corrugated ribbing. Worked seamlessly in the round, this design uses two contrasting colours of 4-ply fingering-weight sock yarn to let the owls truly take flight.
The pattern includes both written instructions and a colourwork chart. Instructions are provided for one size.
Oule is the Middle English word for owl.
Both a chart and full instructions are included.
