Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the necessary materials to crochet the kitty face hat. Here's what you'll need:

• Yarn (in white and green)
• Crochet hook
• Cardboard circle (for the eyes)
• Needle
• Scissors
• Heart-shaped button (for the nose)

Make sure you have all these materials ready before proceeding to the next steps.

Crocheting the First Round

To start crocheting the kitty face hat, we will begin with the first round. Using the white yarn, make a slipknot and chain 5. Join the chain in a round by making a slip stitch. For the first round, chain 3 to bring up the yarn and double crochet 13 stitches into the ring. Complete the round by making a slip stitch through the third chain stitch.

Crocheting the Second Round

Moving on to the second round, chain 3 to bring up the yarn and double crochet through the same chain stage where we made the slip stitch. Continue double crocheting two times into each stitch of the previous round. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round. At the end, make a slip stitch through the third chain stitch to complete the round.

Crocheting the Third Round

For the third round, chain 3 and double crochet through the next stitch. Continue double crocheting two times into each stitch of the previous round. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round. Make a slip stitch through the third chain stitch to complete the round.

Crocheting the Fourth Round

Moving on to the fourth round, chain 3 and double crochet through the next stitch. Continue double crocheting two times into each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat this pattern till the end of the round. Make a slip stitch through the third chain stitch to complete the round.

Making the Eyes

Now, let's move on to creating the eyes for the kitty face hat. Using the green yarn, make a chain of 5 and join it in a round by making a slip stitch. For the first round, chain 3 to bring up the yarn and double crochet 13 stitches into the ring. Complete the round by making a slip stitch through the third chain stitch.

Sewing the Eyes onto the Hat

Take the large round element and sew it onto the hat with a needle, going all the way around the doubles of the last round. Once the large circle is attached, take the smaller round element and sew it on top of the large one, closer to the center of the hat. Repeat the same process for the second eye.

Adding the Nose and Whiskers

To create the nose, use a heart-shaped button and sew it onto the hat. For the whiskers, embroider black yarn onto the hat using the same technique as the eyes. Start from the cheek and work towards the sides, then go backward and work through the stitches to create the whiskers.

Embroidering the Mouth

Using black yarn, embroider a smile on the kitty face hat. Start with one side of the mouth by making stitches with a needle, then go backward and work through each stitch to create a solid line. Repeat on the other side to complete the mouth.

Adding Embellishments: Nails and Bow

For additional embellishments, add nails and a bow to the kitty face hat. Attach small heart-shaped buttons as nails onto the hat. To create the bow, crochet a rectangle using white yarn and fold it into a bow shape. Sew the bow onto the hat, either near one of the ears or on the front.

Final Touches and Conclusion

To complete the kitty face hat, make any final adjustments and ensure everything is securely attached. You can personalize the hat by adding eyelashes, ears, or any other details that make the cat's face unique. Once you are satisfied with the finished product, your kitty face hat is ready to be worn and admired. Enjoy the process of creating these adorable and playful hats for yourself or as gifts for loved ones.
