Made with plush KnitPal Chenillique XL yarn, this hat has a soft, velvety feel and works up quickly thanks to its super bulky weight. The textured body features repeating shell stitches for a rich, dimensional look, while the folded construction creates subtle cat ear shapes at the top for that fun, whimsical finish.
