Keep in mind
There are countless patterns for cat beanies everywhere that come down to crocheting a simple rectangle and sewing it shut, leaving one wide opening at the bottom. I freehanded this one, but it’s so simple that there is a chance someone came up with something similar before I did so as well.

This pattern uses the American Crochet Terminology.
