Cowboy Cat Hat Crochet Pattern

This cowboy cat hat is a small crochet hat with a wide brim, a dented crown, ear holes and an optional chin strap, made to fit an adult cat or a miniature dog breed. The finished hat is about 3.5 inches tall with a 12 inch circumference and 2.5 inch ear holes, and it is made in two yarns: a bulky yarn for the hat and a worsted yarn for the band.
