I made 2 extra kitty heads, and stitched them to the back to hide all the loose threads from the face. It made those two squares kinda heavy, but a 5 yr old will be wearing this, and I thought it would add protection so the yarns are less likely to get pulled.

I found this very easy to whip together. You have to pay attention - but it is a relatively simple project, and the results are satisfying. :)
