This sweet little twist on a kitty cat hat will keep you ultra cozy all year long. The Binx Bonnet is inspired by Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus, one of my all time favorite Fall/Halloween movies. The bonnet features a fitted body & brim, with cat style ears pinched to create a fun look. Ties can be any length, and the brim is knit with an extra weight of fine/thinner yarn to make it super soft.
