This Cat Hat is worked in alternating rows of HDC 3rd loop and HDC back loop to give the hat a lot of nice texture. Of course, if you find this too difficult, the hat can be worked in standard HDC stitches and still be adorable. The ears are attached during the crochet process so placement will be exact. The neck band can be lengthened to suit your personal style.
