Kitty Hat

For Christmas, I made my baby sister Charlie this little kitty hat--
DO NOT ASK HOW TO MAKE THE STRAWBERRY! WE BOUGHT HIM AT IKEA! (Best store ever!!!!)
Anyhoo, the instructions for this one aren't too tough.
  • Find a crochet hat pattern on the internet, from a book, from a friend, wherever you can get one.
  • Make the hat according to whatever pattern you're using and make sure it fits you, or whoever you're giving it to.
  • Crochet two little triangles for the ears and stitch them on.
  • Embroider a face. This is easier than it looks and sounds. For the nose, you embroider a series of lines either getting bigger or smaller, depending on if you started at the top or bottom of the nose. I usually start at the top, because the line is the biggest and that makes it easier. For the whiskers, just three embroidered lines on either side of the kitty face. For the eyes, which are a bit harder, you can employ the same tactic you did with the nose, only you have to, uh... diagram time!

We were having a little trouble explaining what to do there... Hope this helps!
Anyway, last step.
  • Enjoy!
See you next time!
