    You will need cloth of your liking and get the sewing materials. Measure the cat's head, and make the cloth the same size of the cat's head. Sew into a circle and design it how you want.

    Make a new one. At first, measure the cat's head and neck, then use that information when making the crochet. For the old hat, use it for a doll or teddy instead.

    You can make one of you crocheting a cat hat from this article but you will also need to credit this article and its creator. If you ever make anything, all sources must be listed. You could give the link in the description, or mention it at the start of the video.

Tips

  • You can make a chin strap. Cut a 6 inch (15.2 cm) piece of yarn, and tie it onto the middle of the ear hole, try the hat onto your kitty to determine how long the chin strap should be, hold the spot and cut off the extra yarn, but leave an inch so you have room to tie it loosely.
