Use more or less rows depending on the size of the hat you are trying to achieve.

Before fastening off the yarn you want to fold the rectangle in half and then sew it shut.

After the side of the hat has been sewn shut, take the yarn and cinch the top of the hat shut. Fasten off and weave in the end.

Once that is done, flip the hat inside out so now the sewn edges are on the inside of the hat.

Figure out what side of the hat you want as the front side. Then insert your yarn onto the edge and make a sc. Make 10 more sc.

Now for the cat ears: You are going to make a cat ear by making a sc and a hdc in the same stitch, in the next stitch make a dc and a tc, then in the following stitch make a dc and a hdc, then finally the last stitch a sc.

Sc x8, then make another cat ear as outlined above. Once that is done finish sc the rest of the brim. Fasten off and weave in the end.

Round 1: With the dark gray yarn, make a MR and make sc x6 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x6 in the second chain from the hook. (6)

Round 2: Make a inc in every stitch (12). Slip stitch to the first sc and fasten off.

Sew the cat spot to the cat face right below the cat ear. Then insert the safety eyes below the cat ears, one being in the dark gray spot.

With pink yarn, embroider a small line between the eyes for a little nose.

Then with white yarn, embroider the whiskers below the cat eyes. 3 lines on each side. Make sure to only sew it through the brim and not both the brim and hat.

And once all of that is done, the ends are weaved in, your crochet cat hat made from my cat hat crochet pattern is completed! I hope you enjoy your crochet cat beanie as much as I had fun designing the pattern for it!
