Giddyup kitty! When your cat dons this itty bitty cowboy hat, don't be surprised when your cat sneaks out to go the saloon to down a frosty glass of milk or tries to lay down the law with you.

• 30 yards of worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Cotton Solid.
• Size J/6.0 mm crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
Gauge
• 4 sts in sc = 1 inch
I have a feeling I'm a tight crocheter, so you may have to go down a hook size or two if you crochet on the loose (aka normal) side.

ReplyDeleteYAY! Another Cat Hat! This one is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYEE HAW!!!
You've been busy. That is hilarious! And the afghan is looking cool. Our piano teacher has one in 70's brown and orange. And yes, it does squeak.
ReplyDeleteJust in time for Frontier Days here in Cheyenne! What great timing!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm making this, but I made a slight adjustment to ape the dip in the middle of the cowboy hat through stitches:
ReplyDeleteChain 5, R1: 1 sc, 3 hdc, 1 sc, turn to other side of work, 1 hdc, 3dc, 1sc.
R2: From here on, followed the increasing stitch instructions to round 3.
R4: 1 sc in each sc, going in the back loop.
From then on, followed your pattern. Thanks for sharing your ideas, they really helped me! :)
Made this for an auction to raise money for bunny rescue on FB. Just got the pics from the winner, was TRYING to leave comment & link to pic, can't get thie to work! Thank you SOOOO much, it's adorable, and it was really fun to make. I even was able to shape the crown like a cowboy hat, by spraying wtih heavy starch shaping & letting dry.THANKS so much for SHARING! Sincerely Toni Williams
