How to Make a Hat for your Cat?
If you want to make it by yourself, then following the next steps, you can make your cate an awesome crochet hat, the perfect option during the cold months.
Crochet Hat
You will need cloth of your liking and get the sewing materials. Measure the cat’s head, and make the cloth the same size as the cat’s head.
Steps:
- Chain 4; Slip stitch in first chain made. This will make a ring to crochet into.
- Single crochet 7 into the ring, use a slip stitch to join, single crochet into first single crochet made: 7 single crochets.
- Chain 2, work first half double crochet in the same stitch as the chain 2; work 2 half double crochets in each stitch around in a circle; slip stitch in first half double crochet made: 14 half double crochets.
- Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch as the chain 3, double crochet 2 in each stitch around, slip stitch in first double crochet made: 28 double crochets.
- Chain 1, single crochet 8 in a circle, chain 13, skip 4 stitches, re-attach using a slip stitch. (This will create the first ear hole.) Single crochet 10 more stitches in a circle, chain 13, skip 4 stitches, re-attach using slip stitch, single crochet 3, slip stitch in first single crochet made.
- Chain 1, single crochet 7 in a circle. You will be working into the ‘ear hole’ now, so you will be working in the space under it, but it’s basically like working a normal stitch.
