Kitty cat hats

Linda D. 17 years ago

Hi everyone,

I just wondered if anyone knows of a site that has a free Kitty Cat Hat pattern for a child? It was a style of hat very popular for little girls back in the 50's and 60's, and seems to have resurfaced again. I've done a search and only come up with with variations on the hat like this one:

it's not quite what I'm looking for. My LYS also had a kittyhat, but I didn't like the two seams down the back below the ears.I have a feeling the pattern was in an old Patons leaflet, anyoneremember it?

thanks, Linda D. in B.C., Canada

Ha ha ha...when I saw this subject line I thought it was about knitting hats for cats to wear and I couldn't imagine how you would get a cat to keep it on, or even get it on without scratching you!

Probably because I was just reading a Knitting Daily post about sweaters for dogs.

could adjust the sizing by changing the yarn thickness and needle size. You could also just apply the ears from the second example, to your favorite hat pattern.

I know the one your are talking about, and it was, indeed, a Paton's pattern. I have knitted many of them over the years, and I am almost sure that there is a replica on the net somewhere. Hope you find it. Thanks for the link you posted, BTW. I think that my newest granddaughter will love it.

Higs, Katherine
