Introduction

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a cute cat beanie with flowers hanging down. This adorable design is perfect for cat lovers and can be customized with different colors. Follow along to create your own unique cat beanie.

Materials Needed

To make the cat beanie, you will need the following materials:

• Olive green yarn from Red Hearts
• White yarn from Mainstays
• Yarn needle
• 4.5 millimeter crochet hook

Creating the Flowers

Start by creating the flowers for the beanie. Use the olive green yarn and make a magic ring. Chain two and then make 14 double crochets inside the ring. Repeat this process once more to create two green flowers. Then, make white flowers using the same technique.

Connecting the Flowers

To connect the flowers, you can either sew them together or use a hot glue gun for a neater finish. Make sure the flowers are facing the right side out on both sides.

Making the Beanie Base

Now it's time to create the base of the beanie. Chain 73 stitches using the olive green yarn. This will create a long base that will be folded over later to form the beanie.

Sewing the Sides

Fold the beanie over and sew the sides closed using a yarn needle. This will create a seamless finish and ensure a snug fit for the beanie.

Adding the Hanging Strings

To incorporate the flowers into the beanie, add hanging strings on each side. You can alternate between the green and white yarn for a nice contrast. Simply attach the yarn to the beanie and crochet single crochets until you reach your desired length.

Attaching the Flowers

Using a hot glue gun, attach the flowers to the hanging strings. Make sure to glue them onto the matching color side to maintain the symmetry of the beanie.

Finalizing the Cat Beanie

Once the flowers are securely attached, your cat beanie is complete! You can wear it with pride or gift it to a fellow cat lover. The beanie is adjustable based on head size and can be customized with different colors and flower designs.
