I love making new hats for my cats to wear. They already have a lot of hats, but we believe you can never have too many. This time we decided that a crochet shark hat for cats would be a great addition to our crochet cat hats collection.
This hat is a fairly easy pattern, and shouldn’t take too long to complete.
I made this hat using Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a 5.5 mm crochet hook. This hat can be made with any similar brand of yarn.

My model was not as happy with the crochet shark hat for cats as I was. However, he did love the part where we told him he is adorable and fed him treats.
