• For this pattern we will mostly be working in rows.
• Ch x41, turn.
• Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a hdc. Then continue to make hdc for the rest of the row (40). At the end of the row, ch x1 and turn.
• Row 2: In blo, hdc for the entire row (40). Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 3-44: Repeat row 3 (40). Ch x1 and turn.
• 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 or crochet it to form a tube.
• After the side of the hat has been sewn together, 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.

Brim:

• The seam should be the back center of the hat. Join the gray yarn at the seam and then sc a quarter of the way around the hat (if the hat is laid flat with seam at the center, you should be at the side of the hat).
• Sc x8.
• Now for the cat ear:
• Sc and hdc in one stitch. In the next make a dc, tr, ch, tr, dc (4 stiches +1 chain in one stitch). In the next stitch make a hdc and sc.
• Then sc x7.
• Make the second ear just like the one above. Once that is done finish sc the rest of the brim. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Finishing:

• Insert the safety eyes about an inch below the cat ears.
• 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!
