A top down catted-hat!

The Polka Scraps hat is knit top-down, with a pleasing spiral crown, colourwork catfaces and a turned brim for cosy ears.

This hat is a part of Polka Scraps - designed to help your turn your yarn scraps into cosy quick knits. It wants a DK-weight yarn, but 4-ply held double will work just as well. Mix and match from your scrap pile!
