This is a silly little hat I made which looks like a tiger. Perfect for chilly halloween nights, for a unique gift for a friend, or just to romp around in.

I’ve made it in white and grey, and orange and black, but I’m excited to see what new colorways you all come up with!

One size fits most adults. I’m currently working on a child-sized pattern which will be released soon.

This pattern requires four colors:
COLOR 1: Body + Ears + neck ribbing (Orange in this case)
COLOR 2: Stripes + Mouth (Black in this case)
COLOR 3: Pupils (Also Black in this case)
COLOR 4: Eyes (Yellow in this case)

MATERIALS
Yarn: Cascade Merino 128 Superwash, or another bulky yarn. 1 ball each of COLOR 1 and COLOR 2. Scraps used for COLOR 3 and COLOR 4. Medium weight recommended for COLOR 3 and COLOR 4
Hook: 6.5 mm, 5mm needed for eyes.
Tapestry needle to sew on details and weave in ends.
