Hat:
– Crochet a chain equal to the height of your hat. Note that if you want a hat to be cuffed, you should crochet a chain a bit longer.

– First row: sc in each ch till the end. Turn (make a turning ch at the end of each row).
– Sc in all st in back loops only excluding the first and the last stitches (crochet in both loops), thus you will get a neat edge. All further rows are crocheted in this way.
– Crochet a rectangle as described above and try it on the cat head. When the length suits, fasten off, leaving a 20-30 cm tail.

– Sew opposite edges together.

– Sew the upper edges of the hat together with sewing needle or crochet along the edges making slip stitches through both layers.
– Put the hat on the cat so that the cat’s ears are directly inside the hat’s ears.
– Roll up the edge to make a cuff and decorate with a button. The hat is done!

Scarf:
The scarfs shown in the pictures are made with the help of knitting needles. But you can crochet them using the hat principle. Make a chain equal to the scarf width and crochet in rows in back loops only till you get the desired length.

Assemble the toy. Embroider a muzzle. You can make a crochet cat boy or a crochet cat girl by adding small details. Inspiration to you and easy loops!
