This fun cat-ear beanie is worked from the top down and in the round, finished with fun color and texture details! Additional color stripes can be added if desired for a colorful custom look. The length can be adjusted as needed, but this hat style should fit with no slouch in order for the ears to stand up properly.

SIZING - Recommend approximately 2 inches of negative ease.
6m - 15” around and 6” long
Child - 17.5” around and 6.5” long
Medium adult - 20” around and 7.5” long
Large adult - 22” around and 8” long

Note - I made my samples with Knit Picks Brava bulky which I’ve been told is on the thinner side of bulky (136 yards/100 grams). Please check gauge for your chosen yarn, and if needed you can adjust your stitch count in multiples of 2 stitches to get the correct fit!
