1/22/17 Update: Hello all - my website has repeatedly been experiencing issues today. It looks like it’s back up and running now, however in case it goes down again please find an alternative version of the pattern here:

1/8/17 Update: Instructions for Adult and Large Adult hats have been added to this pattern. The regular Adult pattern also has a slightly larger ribbed edge for a snugger fit. :)

A wonderful movement has been gaining traction on social media in support of the Women’s March on Washington, which is now two weeks away. Floods of bright pink hats with pointed corners emulating cat ears are filling up fiber artists’ feeds thanks to the Pussy Hat Project.

I had noticed lots of knitted hats, but as someone who has always preferred crochet, I decided to take a stab at my own pattern. Using the Pussy Hat Project’s wonderfully illustrated directions as a guide, I created this hat and have outlined steps below.

Note: I threw these steps and photos together in a few hours and they have not yet been tested. Please do let me know if you find any errors or have suggestions.

Size: Adult

What You’ll Need
5.5mm Crochet Hook (AKA Size I/9)
A large needle (make sure your yarn will fit through the eye)
Worsted Weight Pink Yarn (I prefer 2 strands of fingering weight twisted together. That works, too!)
