Looking for the perfect free hat pattern that’s different from the rest? You’ve come to the right place! If you can double crochet, you can make this hat—seriously! The Tulip Cat Ear Beanie is a beginner-friendly crochet project that works up quickly, making it perfect for last-minute gifts or a fun weekend project.

I absolutely love how the little tulips pop against the background, and the color combinations are endless—go classic with pink and green, bold with neon brights, or moody with deep jewel tones.

This pattern uses worsted weight yarn and a 5.0mm hook.The pattern is designed for an adult medium head (21-24in) and is easily customizable.

The pattern is available free on my blog, and a paid PDF version is available on etsy.
