Are you a cat lover who also loves to crochet? If so, then you’re going to love this free crochet pattern for a cat hat! Not only is it adorable, but it’s also functional, keeping your feline friend warm during the colder months.
What You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Size H crochet hook
- Worsted weight yarn (in the color of your choice)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Getting Started
First, you’ll need to measure your cat’s head to ensure a proper fit. Using your crochet hook and yarn, create a chain that is the circumference of your cat’s head. Join the chain together with a slip stitch to form a circle.
Next, chain three and double crochet in each stitch around the circle. Repeat this until the hat measures approximately 2-3 inches in length.
Ear Flaps
Now it’s time to add the ear flaps. Using your crochet hook and yarn, create a chain that is approximately 4 inches long. Double crochet in the second stitch from the hook and in each stitch across. Chain two and turn.
Repeat this until the flap measures approximately 2 inches in length. Cut the yarn and tie off. Attach the ear flap to the hat by sewing it onto the side of the hat, making sure it is centered on the top of the hat.
Repeat this process for the second ear flap on the other side of the hat.
Tassel
To add a finishing touch to the hat, create a tassel using your yarn. Cut a length of yarn approximately 6 inches long and thread it through the top of the hat. Tie a knot to secure the tassel in place.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you’ve just made your own crochet hat for your cat! This free pattern is not only a fun and easy project, but it also provides a practical purpose for your feline friend. Happy crocheting!
