Kitty Cap 1-3

The Kitty Cap

There are three variations of this pattern. The original, which I came up with back in 2002 and two variants that I just fine tuned. The original hat and second version are smaller, with the 2005 update being the largest of the three hats. The hat shown below should fit a baby whose head measures approximately 16 inches.
