The hat was knitted with Patons Angora Bamboo Yarn worsted weight (4) and size 1 circular needle. No pattern – I cast on 128, and knitted in K2 P2 until it measure approximately 5 1/2 inch. Then I decreased gradually for eight rows. The top seam was done with a crochet hook.
The ears were done with crochet hook as well (I wanted them stiff.) I laid the hat flat and picked up stitches on the column just behind what would’ve been the side seam and crocheted a black triangle. I made sure to leave a long, almost 18 inch tail. The I picked up an equal number of stitches just in front of what would’ve been the side seam and made a grey triangle. Again, left a long tail. Next I single crocheted the two triangles together, stuffing the yarn ends in. Rinse and repeat for the other ear.
As you can see, Kid 1 likes it. 
Next on the list is a pair of socks in this cute yarn Gordon said looks like sorbet. Hopefully I won’t mess them up.
Most excellent set o’ears I’ve seen in a long time.
Kid 1 thanks you.
OMG!!! I want a hat with kitty ears too!!! It turned out great!I love it! Cool colors btw! Thanks for sharing!
*wonders if I can get my 10 yr old to make me one* She is the one who crochets in our house.
It’s all single crochet.
Thank you! I think she might give it a try. She made a bini hat for herself already and it turned out great on her first try. Lucky kid!
That hat is absolutely awesome! i can totally see why Kid 1 loves it
TY!
Oh wow, that’s gorgeous! The hat too.
oh man, I want one too! My 4 year old is a complete lover of cat ears… may have to look into this some more!
Thanks for posting the pictures! I want a hat like that! How pleased is kid 1?
Socks are excellent. Especially those really soft, long ones they seem to sell more at holidays? (almost like slippers,very soft and comfy)
That hat is super cute. I’d totally pay for it if I saw it in the
mall or a dept store. Then I’d wear it all winter long. Very well done!
That is one awesome hat! Well done it looks perfect and suites her! She looks groovy!
so cool. *envy*
Really cute hat, kid 1 too.

very cute!
wow, Ilona…. the hat looks great! I’m in awe…. I couldn’t crochet or knit something if my life depended on it.
Those kitty’s ears are so cool! Great job Ilona! xx
Love the hat!
Wish I could show it to my Gramma – she used to make us animals. (our fave was the flying purple people eater

wow loving the hat! Im trying to learn to knitt and started with baby booties by copying youtube videos. that worked ok but then looked up circular needles and got very confused as ive never seen them before and they are odd looking. im determined to knitt hats and socks as they are my favourite spend and if i work it out it’ll be a great money saver – your kitten hat inspires me to keep trying!
That’s an adorable hat!
My Kid 1 is a huge fan and is reading all of your books! Thank you so much!
