Chunky Cabled Cat Hat Crochet Pattern
From the young age of six, I’ve unfortunately not only been allergic to dogs, but also cats… And let’s just say, a goldfish is not a great substitute pet!
So despite the fact that I love to flaunt a top knot bun and crochet non-stop, I guess this chunky cabled cat hat is the closest I’ll ever get to becoming a cat lady -sigh-.
Do you have any pets?.. I’m currently considering a guinea pig!

When you’ve completed all the rounds, Slip Stitch across the top of the hat, till it’s closed {Note: The top of the hat is round 10}
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
I would also suggest blocking your hat to make sure the cable is straight, and right in the center of the hat.
Hope you all enjoyed this cat inspired pattern!
If you did crochet this, please post a photo of your creation onto my Facebook Page.
I’d love to see it!
Have a lovely day crocheting,

So cozy and fun!!! Thank you!!!

Love Hayley,

Thank you for the pattern but I'm lost!! After the 10th round, do we fasten off then slip stitch from side to side?
I've gotten to that part too, but I have no idea what to do :/
Love this hat! I started making it for my son's girlfriend & finished through Row 10 which leaves me at the middle of the back. After that it says to slip stitch until hat is closed. I don't understand how the ears are created from there…please help!
You sew across the corners to get the ears to lay flat.
its really nice i like it
How do you close this hat? Slip stitching doesnt close it. Im confused! 😢
For the chunky cabled cat hat pattern, could you please tell me what the level of difficulty this would be to crochet if I was experienced at crochet?
