For All Cat Lovers!

Anyone who has ever had a cat knows they have an incredible ability to Stare for what feels like hours on end. Over this last holiday, while I spent more time at home than usual, the stare I got from my two fur babies (Nathan and Joe) was my constant companion. Ever present was their stare that I was able to capture it and apply it in a colourwork hat. Now when they stare, I can stare right back.
I hope you like the pattern.
