*meow* Kitty Cat hats

So my friend Kerri requested two kitty cat hats to be made. Now it was a bit of a challenge for me cuz I'd never made one before. And I could not find a decent pattern for exactly what she wanted. So I had to create some of it by myself, and kinda steal ideas from other patterns. It's kinda like a Frankenstein pattern haha. But here is the resutls.


I'm thinking of writing up this pattern but not anytime soon, whoo boy it was a doozie. The funny thing was I just kept making mistakes cuz it was a first time hat. Like I made one ear, and it was all wrong so I had to discard it and make another one. The first time I sewed the face on the wrong side of the hat haha. That was not fun to take it all off and redo it on the back. But I think overall it turned out really well. Kerri tells me she keeps getting compliments on her hat and that makes me happy. I think I will definitely make more animal hats as it wasn't complicated and they look really cute. Here's a picture of Kerri and Sarah wearing them.


I gotta say, the purple one ended up the better of the two haha. That's cuz it was the second one. Technically the pink one is my prototype, the prototypes never seem to be the best but they are the original! (just ask Grant about his Jayne hat haha)

My next funky hat project? Who knows but there are two that I really want to make, one is the chicken hat http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=47371.0 and the other is a giraffe hat. I randomly came across one once and I think it would be hilarious to make one. But I've decided that for next winter I will make myself a chicken hat and wear it proudly. I suspect interesting photo ops for next winter!
