This is a simple hat, knit in the round from the cast-on edge to the top. The design includes stripes and a seven row stranded color work section using 2 colors and following a chart.

Duplicate stitch can be used to make the cat a different color and the stripes and background color can be changed to whatever appeals to you.

Three sizes are included, Small - about 18”, medium -20”, and large - 22” blocked and unstretched. The height of the hat can be adjusted to make it slouchier if desired. Please do a swatch for sizing if you aren’t experienced at hats.

This pattern has not been tech-edited, I’ve just test-knit for myself so please let me know if you see any problems with the pattern.

And don’t forget to VOTE (but take your hat off if voting in person).
