My cats were not impressed with the Unicorn Cat Hat I made for them. My daughter told me that this is because the cats don’t like unicorns. I decided to test her theory by making them a new hat. This time we decided to make them a crochet dinosaur cat hat to go along with my daughter’s Dinosaur Hat.
This hat is pretty easy to make. It uses the same hat base as the unicorn hat. The spikes are made separately, and attached to the top. For this hat I used Big Twist Value yarn.

I promised them I will take a break from designing cat hats for a little while.
