Hello!

This is a cute lil cat ear beanie -- knit on 6mm needles with chunky yarn, it knits up fast, and is deceptively simple to make. The stiffness of the I-cord, combined with the natural curvature of your head, makes the two corners of the hat stand out like little ears. Sewing a straight diagonal line across each of the corners emphasizes this “cat ear” effect further

It has been test knitted by these wonderful, wonderful people here:
critical_knit_theory, punkyknitting (who knitted two sizes!!!!), wordsplints, celia, iamhorriblylimited, witchy-stitchy

It has also been tech-edited :)
