This pattern is for a Beanie style hat with cat ears, or a Cat Hat!

Finished Size:
This cat hat pattern is made in a single size and is suitable for adults. When made in Stylecraft Special Chunky using a 7mm hook the approximate finished size when flat is 25cm/10inch wide and 20cm/8inch tall from crown to brim.

You will need:
A “light” Chunky Yarn (I used Stylecraft Special Chunky in Meadow)
6 (J), 6.5 (K) or 7mm Hook (depending on your tension)
A Yarn Needle
Scissors
Tape Measure (this is essential!)
Stitch Markers or Sewing Clips

Note on Yarn:
I have used a wide variety of yarns for this pattern including Stylecraft Special Chunky, Paintbox Simply Chunky and James C Brett Marble Chunky. This pattern uses approximately 1 entire ball of Stylecraft Special Chunky per hat.

Abbreviations:
This pattern is provided as 2 files, one written in UK terms and the other in US terms, you can choose which you would like to use. I don’t use abbreviations; this pattern is written out in full to make it as accessible as possible.

Tension:
Tension is not critical for this pattern, though the size of the finished hat will vary. I am a tight crocheter, so I use a 7mm hook, if you know you crochet more loosely then use a smaller hook size such as a 6.5mm (K) or even a 6mm (J).
