Description of the Striped Cat Hat Crochet Pattern.
This pattern is the best way to make a simple striped cat hat.
Cat hats are very popular as they are fun hats to make and wear.
Recently I have been seeing lots of striped versions showing up out there and many that have the brim folded up. I love how trends take hold.
I have adapted my original cat hat pattern so it has the option to turn up the brim.
Also I show you how to add the stripes as you go up the hat. If it is the first time you have made anything with stripes this will be helpful. This hat is made from the bottom up and it is a simple tube made by crocheting in the round with double crochet, so there are no side seams. The only seam is across the top. It is a really beginner friendly pattern.
Here is a Striped Cat Hat made with hot pink and soft pink. I love it and you can see how great it looks with the brim turned up.
Make a Crochet Striped Cat Hat in All The Sizes.
This striped cat hat has so much character that it will appeal to so many people of all ages. Its universal appeal is why I have written it up for sizes ranging from Toddler up to Adult. I haven’t tried it out for babies yet.
Accessories to add while wearing your Cat Hat.
If you like creating different winter accessories you might like to style your cat hat with some gloves or a scarf. This hat would work great with my Winter Time Fingerless Gloves as well as with the Cascade Scarf,

This hat is designed to fit snugly so the corners form ears when it is put on your head. For those new to crochet, I have a video on youtube that shows how to make this hat without the stripes.
