NOTE There is also a stranded version of this pattern! Be sure to get the correct pattern based on your preferences!! This pattern is for the Double Knit version. The stranded version can be found over here!

This is a whimsical double knit design that has a bunch of cats along a fence. Just try herding all those cats!! Reversible cats!! This project is perfect for a beginner who wants to try double knit for the first time, but it is also suitable for those who are advanced beginners and experienced knitters as well. This hat can easily be adjusted to make it a bit bigger or smaller if desired by adding more or fewer stitches between the cat charts. The pattern includes four large charts and you will choose two to complete the hat.

This pattern coordinates with my Herding Cats Cowl
