Crocheted Kitty Hat Pattern

The hat is made using 3 strands together of colors: camel, green and brown and a M hook. The yarn is worsted weight. So you can buy the colors you like from them to make the hat.

Also, you will make a rectangle on a 24 ch base and then fold, sew the sides -that gives the cat look and then make the flaps (to cover the ears) working on nine stitches on each side.

To determine where the flaps must go, put on the hat, and count nine side stitches to cover the ears.
