Super simple and cosy beanie with cat ears. The shape is basically a knitted rectangle that turns into cat ears once you sew the top together.

No decreases, no counting no stress, just knitting and watching a TV show.

You’ll start with a soft ribbed cuff, then knit the main body in smooth stockinette. Add a pair of embroidered whiskers (if you feel like it), and maybe a tiny i-cord tail on the back for some extra
cuteness.
