Kitty Cat Hat Pattern!
I fell in love with brioche knitting the moment I laid eyes on it, although I was not brave enough to try it myself until almost a year later. Imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered how truly simple the basics of brioche are! If you know how to yarn over, k2tog, and p2tog, you can master the basics of brioche!
Originally, I planned on putting pompoms on the ends of this hat. Then, when trying it on, I was surprised to see a kitty looking back at me in the mirror! The brioche stitch creates a squashy, denser fabric that makes the kitty ears stand purrfectly on your head! There are a gazillion ways to alter this pattern and make it your own! Check out the notes for tips and tricks and some fun ideas on how to make your purrfect kitty hat!

If you want to learn more about why I made this hat and why I am releasing it for free, check out my podcast!
This hat is not directly a part of the PussyHat Project, although you are more than welcome to use the design for your protesting needs!
I do, however, envision a different movement with this hat. Knit it in rainbows. Knit it in purples. Knit it to support all equal rights! And please knit it in ethically sourced yarns!
Also, feel free to just rock some kitty cat ears!
Thank you <3
