Whether you’re a cat looking to cosplay or just trying to pimp one of your amigurumi by adding some additional swag, this right here’s the blueprint.

Before you get started
Yarn colors you will need

Abbreviations used for Crochet Stitches
This pattern uses US crochet terms with the abbreviations below:
- MR = magic ring
- sc = single crochet
- inc = increase (2 single crochets in the same stitch)
- FLO = crochet into the front loop only
Adapting the size of the crochet hat
Depending on the size yarn you use and the eventual size of hat you are going for, you can very easily adapt. If you need your hat to be bigger than the one depicted, simply add more rounds evenly distributing 8 increases after round 5 until you reach a circumference that suits your needs. Then continue to do the number of single crochets for each round that equal the stitch count of your final round of increases. Also play with the number of rounds just doing single crochets around until it looks good (the plus with this pattern is, as there is no stuffing involved and also no decreases coming up later on, you can instantly see the actual shape it’s gonna end up with as you go).
