Cozy Kitty Ears Beanie Knitting Pattern

A soft, snug hat with cat ears formed at the top. Knit from the bottom up, with ribbing, stockinette and small 2×2 cable twists. The pattern gives both flat and in-the-round steps.

Finish with a sewn top or a three-needle bind-off. Photo guides help with cables, finishing and ear details. The snug fit helps the ears stand up.

Choose by head size; ages are a guide. These are the head measurements the hat is designed to fit, with the pattern’s approximate inch and cm values.

This hat has a close fit. Check your gauge before you start; knitting in the round can give a tighter fit than knitting flat.
