Crochet Halloween Black Cat Hat Free Pattern

Crochet Halloween Black Cat Hat Pattern by Crochet For You.

As my crochet lover friends wish on the Fb page, I made this Halloween Black Cat Hat. 😀 Isn’t it cute!

The black & orange color combo on the hat is great to go with Halloween. Look at the little bow I attached to make it too cute. I hope you like it.

This Halloween Black Cat Hat made in toddler size. If you follow the hat sizing guide-How to Crochet Hat in Any Size, you can make this hat in any size. Make it special for a little girl by adding a little bow. Or you can make Mr & Mrs couple hats for this Halloween. 😀

Extra tip: you can make this hat in stripes like Woodland Animal Hats Series

    Hello. Love your kitty hat. Made one for a friend’s daughter but it was a bit too small. Will try another row added to circumference and see if I can make it bigger. Its a great pattern! Thank you so much.

    She loved the hat but it fit her more like a Yarmulkle. She is 3.5 years old and I guess has a bigger head then most.
