Crochet sleepy cat hairband

Hi, I am in love with this cute little cat toy on a hairband. My 3-yr old has recently taken into quirky things on her hairband, and she’s over bows and ribbons already. Even at the store she would buy anything that’s dramatic.

My daughter has been wearing it non-stop. We have had many people telling us that it looks insanely cute every time we head out.

This cute little cat is worked in rounds, without any joins. And it takes a day to complete if you have all your materials in hand.

Yarn : 4 Seasons Marvel 8 Ply Yarn in white color.

Crochet hook: 2.5mm hook.

Glossary:

• ch – Chain stitch
• sc – single crochet
• inc – increase, 2sc in the same stitch
• invdec – invisible decrease
