Free pattern: Easy 15-minute feece cat ear hat

I had been wanting to make a cat ear hat for a while now, because I’m a crazy cat lady and think everything is better with cat ears. But I kept putting it off because my “want to make” list is too long for the time I have to sew. But when I started seeing people make pink kitty ear hats for the Pussyhat Project, I realized I should pull my cat ear hat to the top of the list. I worked up a pattern that’s quick to sew from fleece. I’m sharing it over at Orange Bettie. It takes just 15 minutes, including the time it takes to cut out the pieces. You can make one as a feminist statement, or just because cat ears are fun.
