When I had done the tiger stripes cowl I longed for a matching beanie. But I wanted something special. The idea hit me to make a tiger tail at the top of the hat.
It looks really really cool!

However, if you prefer a less excentric “topping” you can choose between a tail-less version ending, a pixie version (pointed) or the tiger-tail version.
So it’s up to you which one to take.

The knitting instruction with all charts and the three different ending versions is available in English.

Note: for bigger heads use needle size 3.5 mm
Because it’s longer it’s a bit more sloppy than my usual beanies.
