WELCOME!
It’s very easy for me to pinpoint where my love of cats and knitting came
from: my admiration for my grandmother, or “Nani,” as we called her. She
lived in a two-story craftsman-style house in Nashville, with lots of cats and
lots of yarn. We’d visit her regularly, and she would regale us with stories
of her childhood growing up in Germany. During those tales she’d often be
knitting (continental style), and I was fascinated by the fabric and textures
she created, sometimes knitting up a sweater in a weekend. She even sold
her designs to local shops and celebrities, as one of many ways to provide
for her family of eight. Those weekend visits were full of inspiration for me
—often alternating between armfuls of kittens and the many craft supplies
my father and Nani encouraged.
As a young adult, I moved to London to study fashion design. Through
courses at my university, I became interested in fiber arts. I love the magic
that can be created with string and two needles, as well as the history
behind this craft.
Sara’s cat Dorothy is always first in line to try out the new hats.
When I started Scooter Knits on Etsy in March of 2009, I was fulfilling a
dream six years in the making. My university experience had given me the
courage to share things I made with the world. The first cat hat I made was
in August of 2009 when I adopted my first kitten, Dorothy. After sewing
her a tiny T-shirt and making her a tiny house, a tiny hat seemed like the
natural next step for this self-professed cat lady. I never imagined when I
listed my first cat hat on Etsy that it would become the focus of Scooter
Knits, but five years later I’m so grateful it did.

My hope is that you will have as much fun making these hats as I’ve had
designing them. I’ve captured so many great moments of my cats wearing
their hats over the years, and I hope you do too! For me, my cats are a
special part of my life—not the aloof pets some think them to be, but
intelligent animals with unique personalities. This book is an ode to the
many sides of our feline friends. Use the patterns in this book to showcase
your cat’s personality in family photos, on Christmas cards, for Halloween,
etc!
We lost my Nani in August of 2014, one month before her 92nd birthday.
She was intellectual, articulate, loving, talented, quick to put you in your
place—an inspiration to me in innumerable ways. This book is dedicated to
her.

Sara x
BE KIND TO YOUR FELINE FRIENDS
Some cats are born to model millinery (Gus, Bluebell, and Luna, you know who I’m
talking about…) and others aren’t. If your cat doesn’t want to wear your yarn creation,
don’t force it to.

WORKING THE CATWALK


The models showing off in this book were volunteered because they have exactly the
right temperament to wear a hat that looks like a banana, for example.

HAT-WEARING ETIQUETTE
As Lady Mary Crawley might have said, “A cat should never wear a hat outdoors.”
Do not let your cat outside in a hat nor leave it to wear a hat unsupervised.

BEHIND THE SCENES!


Leeroy reflects on a hard day’s work.

Attach leaves to the base of the hat, around the bottom of the stem, by
stitching through the cast on edge of the leaves. Use the longer tail to stitch.
Weave all ends to the underside of hat and secure.

To finish the hat, thread yarn needle with yarn C. Make short, well-placed
stitches on the base of the hat to represent the seeds. Do not do too many—
use the photo for reference if necessary. Secure yarn to the underside of the
hat.

ASSEMBLY
You will attach the faux hawk pieces in a manner similar to attaching fringe
to a scarf. To attach, slide crochet hook underneath the first stitch in the
center garter stitch ridge on the base of the hat. Take a 2 in. (5 cm) piece of
yarn, fold it in half, and pull the loop through the garter row using the
crochet hook. Take the ends of the faux hawk yarn and pull them through
the loop so that it is securely knotted. The faux hawk yarn should stand
upright using this method. Repeat, cutting more 2 in. (5 cm) pieces if
necessary, and continue attaching them down the center garter stitch row.

To create a fuller faux hawk, clip more yarn and attach it to both sides of the
center garter stitch ridge. When finished, trim faux hawk to a uniform
length (about 1 in./2.5 cm).

not turn needle. Holding one piece of pipe cleaner in place, slide the 4 sts to
other end of needle, bring yarn around from the back, encasing the pipe
cleaner, and knit the 4 sts again. This forms the i-cord technique. This
technique, when worked with the pipe cleaner in the center, will cover the
pipe cleaner and form a bendable antler. Work in this method until pipe
cleaner is covered, leaving a ½ in. (1 cm) of pipe cleaner exposed at the
bottom for securing antler to the base. To finish, cut 8 in. (20 cm) tail and
pull through sts on needle using a yarn needle.
Weave tail through antler, leaving it at the base to stitch antler in place.
Next, pick up 2 sts ¼ in. (0.5 cm) from top of antler and knit 5 rows with i-
cord technique.

ASSEMBLY
You should have a “flat side” to the banana—that side is the front. Stuff
with polyester fiberfill, being mindful that the front should lay flat and the
rest should curve. Use the blunt edge of a knitting needle to help stuff the
stem of the banana if necessary. Attach to the middle of the base, centering
the banana, and making sure the front of the banana is facing the front of
the base (any side of the base can be the front). Using cast on tail, securely
attach the banana to the hat base by stitching along the cast on edge of the
banana. When finished, tie off to underside of base.

TUBE OF HAT
Knit 15 rnds.
Bind off, leaving a 20 in. (51 cm) tail. Using the cast on tail, stitch the flap
created on the top of the hat into place, so that it lies flat. Next, using the 20
in. (51 cm) tail, begin stitching the top hat in place on the base of the cat
hat. Center the top hat on the middle section of the base, stitching into the
bind off edge of the top hat. Once you have stitched halfway around the hat,
lightly stuff the hat with polyester fiberfill. Overstuffing will give the wrong
shape. Continue stitching around the bind off edge of the hat until it is
securely in place. Weave in ends of hat securely on underside of the base
and snip.

OceanofPDF.com
BRIM
Using yarn B and two dpns, cast on 6 sts, leaving a 4 in. (10 cm) tail. Knit
every row until band measures 9 in. (23 cm). Bind off, leaving a 20 in. (51
cm) tail. Stitch ends of the brim together using cast on tail. Weave in tail
and snip. Slide the brim over the top hat, to the bottom of the top hat. Using
the 20 in. (51 cm) tail, stitch the brim onto the base of the hat, following
along the bind off edge of the top hat. When finished, pull end through the
underside of the cat hat base, weave in securely, and snip.

Once stitched into place, use a length of yarn B and a yarn needle to create
some simple stitches that will anchor the brim into the appropriate shape.
The brim will naturally roll, though you want the front to be flat. You can
place a few small stitches on each side of the front brim, to secure the roll
and keep the front flat. Weave in any ends to underside of the base and snip.

Measure ribbon around the bottom of the hat, add 1 in. (2.5 cm), and cut.
Fold one end over ½ in. (1.25 cm), then fold over ½ in. (1.25 cm) again.
Using matching thread and a needle, stitch this fold into place. Wrap the
ribbon around the bottom of hat, secure raw end under the fold, and stitch in
place to create the band.

Attach one inner ear to one outer ear using the inner ear 10 in. (25 cm) tail
and a yarn needle. Stitch into place, with the base of the ears (the last rows)
matching up. Use the photos for reference if necessary. Be careful not to
stitch right through the outer ear, as you do not want your stitches to be
visible. You can create an invisible stitch by running your needle through
the edge of the inner ear and barely through the surface of the outer ear.

OceanofPDF.com
ASSEMBLY
Stitch each ear along the front edge of the hat base, in front of each ear hole.
The front edge of the base is the pointed edge. Use the yarn tails from the
outer ears to stitch into place, running your needle through the edge of the
outer ear. The ears are meant to stand up, so you may have to reinforce your
stitches to give the ears support.

Stand back and admire your cat’s new look!

TO SHAPE
You have created two points at the top of your hat. These points should face
the ears, and you should use the starting tail to stitch into place a dip in
between these points. You may find it helpful to turn to the WS, or inside,
of the hat and, pinching between the points, secure this shape with a few
stitches.

OceanofPDF.com
Turning to the RS, or outside, of the hat, you will need to stitch your brim
into place. You want the sides of the hat to roll. Lightly roll each side, and
work 3 or 4 stitches to hold it in place. Use the photos for reference.
Properly broken in hats have an authentic shape, which means you don’t
have to perfectly stitch the brim rolls. Just remember that the front and back
need to be flat. Stitching the brim is what gives the hat its final shape, so
adjust it according to your liking. An experienced crocheter could give this
hat a stiffer shape by stuffing it. You would need to crochet an oval, or
small base, to stitch your hat onto and to hold the stuffing in. You could use
the other patterns in this book as a reference for this if you wish.

OceanofPDF.com
TIES
(Make 2)
Using a strand of all three yarn colors, make two braided ties that each
measure 1 yd (90 cm). You could also use a ¼ in. (0.5 cm) wide ribbon or
trim of your choice for ties.

To attach ties to the hat, take one tie and pull it through the front left side
(near the rolled brim) of the hat. Use a larger crochet hook if necessary.
Now pull the other end of the tie through the front right side of the hat
(again near the rolled brim). Repeat with other tie at the back of the hat. Use
the photos for reference if necessary.

OceanofPDF.com
TO WEAR
You now have 4 ties hanging underneath your hat, two on the right and two
on the left. Carefully tie the two left and the two right ties together, in a bow
under the chin. Make sure the ties are on either side of the ear on each side.
This ensures a more comfortable fit (your cat’s ears should be clear of the
hat). If you need the hat to be a bit smaller, or larger, on top, adjust the roll
of the brim.

MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
THE NEAT THING ABOUT MAKING CAT HATS IS THAT
THEY DON’T REQUIRE SPECIALIST TOOLS, NOR DO
THEY USE MUCH YARN.

YARNS
Yarns are available in a range of weights, from very fine to extra bulky.
Because yarns may vary from one manufacturer to another and certainly
change from one fiber to another, only generic yarn types are indicated for
the hats in this book. You should be aware of the properties of different
yarns, however, from the fullness of cotton to the elasticity of wool, because
the construction of a yarn will affect its behavior and characteristics, and so
will influence the end result. Try using different gauges and, if in doubt, use
a smaller needle/hook size than usual. Separate your yarns into color groups
and keep these in transparent plastic containers so that you have a palette of
colors to work with.

KNITTING NEEDLES
Needle sizes are specified for each hat. Pairs of knitting needles are made in
a variety of lengths. Most are aluminum, although larger-size needles are
made of plastic to reduce their weight. For most of the designs in this book,
a conventional pair of needles is used, but double-pointed needles are used
in some of the projects.
Knitting needles are available in a variety of sizes and materials.

CROCHET HOOKS
Crochet hooks are available in a wide range of sizes and materials. Most
hooks are made from aluminum or plastic. Small sizes of steel hooks are
made for working with very fine yarns. Handmade wooden, bamboo, and
horn hooks are also available.
Hook sizes are quoted differently in the United States and Europe, and
some brands of hook are labeled with more than one numbering system.
Choosing a hook is largely a matter of personal preference. The design of
the hook affects the ease of working considerably. Look for a hook that has
a comfortable grip.
Assorted crochet hooks.

Row counters are useful.

STUFFING MATERIALS AND ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT

OceanofPDF.com
POLYESTER FIBERFILL
There are a number of options open to you when it comes to stuffing your
hat, including foam, cotton batting, and polyester fiberfill. I recommend
polyester fiberfill, a synthetic fiber that is extremely lightweight and also
washable. It has a soft feel and it bounces back into shape. It tends to clump
less than many of the other stuffing materials. It is also widely available.

Always have a sharp pair of scissors handy.

OceanofPDF.com
TAPE MEASURE
Essential for measuring lengths of yarn, choose one that features both
inches and centimeters on the same side.

A tape measure lets you check that you have adequate yarn.

OceanofPDF.com
MARKERS AND ROW COUNTERS
Ready-made markers can be used to indicate a repeat or to help count
stitches in a chain. Similarly, a row counter may help you to keep track of
the number of rows you have worked, but in knitting this is usually easy if
you remember to include the stitches on the needle as a row.

OceanofPDF.com
KNITTING TECHNIQUES
HERE IS A REMINDER OF THE BASICS, TOGETHER
WITH A FEW SUGGESTSIONS AND TECHNIQUES THAT
MIGHT BE NEW TO A BEGINNING KNITTER.

SLIPKNOT

1 Putting a slipknot on the needle makes the first stitch of the cast on. Loop
the yarn around two fingers of the left hand, the ball end on top. Dip the
needle into the loop, catch the ball end of the yarn, and pull it through the
loop.

2 Pull the ends of the yarn to tighten the knot. Tighten the ball end to bring
the knot up to the needle.

CASTING ON
There are several cast on methods, each with its own merits.

OceanofPDF.com
Thumb method
Sometimes called long-tail cast on, this uses a single needle and produces
an elastic edge.

1 Leaving an end about three times the length of the required cast on, put a
slipknot on the needle. Holding the yarn end in the left hand, take the left
thumb under the yarn and upward. Insert the needle in the loop made on the
thumb.

2 Use the ball end of the yarn to make a knit stitch, slipping the loop off the
thumb. Pull the yarn end to close the stitch up to the needle. Continue
making stitches in this way. The result looks like a row of garter stitch
because the yarn has been knitted off the thumb.

OceanofPDF.com
Cable cast on
This two-needle method gives a firm edge with the appearance of a rope.

1 Put a slipknot on one needle. Use the other needle and the ball end of the
yarn to knit into the loop on the left-hand needle without slipping it off.
Transfer the new stitch to the left-hand needle.

2 Insert the right-hand needle between the new stitch and the next stitch,
and then make another stitch as before. Continue making stitches in this
way.

OceanofPDF.com
Knitted cast on
Make a cable cast on as above, but instead of knitting between stitches,
insert the right-hand needle in the front of each stitch in the usual way. This
gives a softer edge than the cable method.

I-CORD

A very useful round cord can be made using two double-pointed needles.
Cast on four (or the required number of) stitches and knit one row in the
usual way. Without turning, slide the stitches to the opposite end of the
needle. Take the yarn firmly across the wrong side from left to right and knit
one row. Repeat from for the required length.

BINDING AND FASTENING OFF


A simple knit stitch bind off is used in this book. Knit two stitches. With the
left needle, lift the first stitch over the second and off the right needle. Knit
the next stitch. Repeat from until one stitch remains. Break off the yarn, pass
the end through this stitch, and tighten.

PICK UP AND KNIT

The pick up and knit technique involves knitting up new stitches along the
edge of a knitted piece, ready to work in another direction. This avoids
having to cast on a separate piece and join it with a seam. With RS facing
you, insert the right needle under an edge stitch, take the yarn around the
needle, and pull a loop through to make a stitch. Repeat for the number of
stitches required, spacing the picked up stitches evenly along the edge. The
next row will be a WS row.
KNITTING IN THE ROUND

When knitting in the round using four double-pointed needles (dpns), the
stitches are distributed among three of the needles and the spare needle is
used to knit with. Bring the first and third needles together to form a circle
and use the spare needle to work the stitches off the first (left) needle and
onto the spare (right) needle in the usual way. This is done with the RS
(outside) of the work facing you, unless stated otherwise. Take the yarn
firmly from one double-pointed needle to the next or a ladder will appear.

OceanofPDF.com
CROCHET TECHNIQUES
HERE ARE A FEW REMINDERS OF THE BASICS AND
SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR BUILDING ON THEM.

SLIPKNOT

1 Putting a slipknot on the hook makes the first loop of the chain that will
hold the stitches of the first row or round. Loop the yarn around two fingers
of the left hand, the ball end to the front. Insert the hook in the loop, catch
the ball end of the yarn, and pull it through the loop.

2 Pull the ends of yarn to tighten the knot. Now tighten the ball end to bring
the knot up to the hook.

HOOKING ACTION
Hold the slipknot (and later the chain) between the thumb and forefinger of
the left hand. Take the yarn over the second finger of the left hand so it is
held taut. Take it around the little finger as well if necessary. The right hand
is then free to manipulate the hook. With a turn of the wrist, guide the tip of
the hook under the yarn. Catch the yarn and pull it through the loop on the
hook to make a chain.

Hooking and catching is referred to as yarn over hook (abbreviation: yo). It


is the action used in making a chain, a slip stitch, and, in various
combinations, all other crochet stitches.

Note Unless the instructions state otherwise, the hook should be inserted
under the two strands of yarn that form the top of the chain, or the top of the
stitch.

WORKING A SLIP STITCH (SL ST)


Slip stitch is the shortest of all the crochet stitches and its main uses are for
joining rounds, making seams, and carrying the hook and yarn from one
place to another. Insert the hook from front to back into the required stitch.
Wrap the yarn over the hook (yarn over) and draw it through both the work
and the loop on the hook. One loop remains on the hook and one slip stitch
has been worked.

CHAIN RING
Join a number of chain stitches into a ring with a slip stitch in the first
chain. Work the first round of stitches around the chain and into the center
of the ring. If the yarn end is also worked around, the ring is lightly padded
and this end can be pulled to tighten it.

MAGIC RING
1 To make a magic ring, first coil the yarn around two fingers and then use
the hook to pull through a loop of the ball end of the yarn, as if making a
slipknot (see step 1, above left). However, do not then pull the yarn tight.
Holding the ring flat between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand,
catch the yarn and pull it through the loop on the hook to anchor it.

2 Working under two strands of yarn each time, make the stitches as
directed and then pull the free yarn end to close the ring. Join the ring with
a slip stitch in the first stitch.

JOINING IN A NEW YARN


There are several methods you can use to join in a new yarn or color.
OceanofPDF.com
Using slip stitch
This method can be used when working any stitch. Make a slipknot in the
new yarn and place it on the hook. Insert the hook into the work at the
specified position and make a slip stitch with the new yarn through both
stitch and slipknot. Continue working the pattern with the new yarn.

Changing colors mid-stitch


To switch neatly from an old color to a new color in the same place, you can
leave the last stitch in the old color incomplete and use the new color to
finish the stitch.

1 Using the old color, leave the last stage of the final stitch incomplete, so
that there are two loops on the hook. Wrap the new color over the hook and
pull it through the loops on the hook to complete the stitch.

2 Continue working with the new color. You may find it easier to knot the
two loose ends together before you cut the yarn no longer in use, leaving
ends of about 4 in. (10 cm). Always undo the knot before weaving in the
yarn ends.
OceanofPDF.com
ADDITIONAL TECHNIQUES
ALL THE HATS ARE EASY TO ASSEMBLE USING JUST A
FEW STANDARD FINISHING TECHNIQUES. HERE ARE
SOME TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS.

OceanofPDF.com
MARKERS
If markers are needed to count rows or repeats, use a length of contrast
thread. Lay it between stitches from front to back, make a stitch, and then
bring it from back to front of the work. Repeat from once more. It can be
pulled out when it is no longer needed.

OceanofPDF.com
STUFFING
Use polyester fiberfill (batting) rather than cotton wool, as the latter can be
rather dense and difficult to stitch through. Push the batting in firmly, one
wisp at a time, using it to shape the object without distorting it. Too much
batting will pack down, whereas too little will never plump up. Don’t push
the batting in with a pointed implement, but use something like the eraser
end of a pencil. Spare matching yarn may be better than batting inside
crochet, as there will be no show-through. Wind off short lengths of yarn
around two fingers and push these in, one coil at a time.

OceanofPDF.com
ENDS
Sometimes called a tail, the end of yarn left after making the slipknot
should be a reasonable length so that it can be used for sewing up. It can
also be very useful for covering up imperfections, such as awkward color
changes. The same applies to the end left after binding or fastening off. In
these projects, ends that will not be needed for sewing up should be woven
in and secured to the WS before the main assembly of the hat.

POM POMS
A couple of the hats in this book require pom poms. Either use a ready-
made plastic pom pom maker or cut out two rings of cardboard.

1 Place the two rings together and use a yarn needle to wrap yarn around
them.
2 Starting new lengths of yarn at the outside edge, continue until the rings
are tightly covered. Insert the blade of a pair of scissors between the rings
and cut the yarn around the edge.

3 Tie a length of yarn around the pom pom between the rings. Knot the yarn
tightly, slip the rings off, and trim the pom pom. Use the ends of yarn from
the tie for attaching the pom pom to the hat.

OceanofPDF.com
JOINING KNITTED AND
CROCHETED PIECES

It is always best to leave a lengthy tail when you cast on or bind off, as this
tail can serve as your joining yarn when sewing pieces together. The
projects in this book specify at which point to leave additional length.
Carefully place the piece to be attached in the correct location, using sewing
pins if necessary. Using a blunt yarn needle and the tail (or a length of
matching yarn), stitch small upright stitches through the edge of the piece
being joined to the main piece of the project. When done in the same shade
of yarn, these stitches should be invisible. Once attached, pull the yarn to
the wrong side of the knitted or crocheted object (usually the underside of
the hat) and secure with several knots. Weave in ends.
