The most popular pattern on this blog is my Hat for Cats. Since creating this pattern I have received many messages from people who said it was too small for their cats. I have created this large crochet hat for cats to solve this problem. This hat has a band that is a couple inches wider around. Hopefully with this pattern more cats will be able to enjoy this hat.
This is a very quick and easy pattern. I created this hat using Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook.
