FO: Cat and Bear hats

[Olha]

Cat and Bear ears hats to be honest :) After many attempts to create animal faces, I decided to implement it in a different project. And for now rely on kids imagination and pretend play skills :)

The pattern is based on this simple but geniuos seamless design. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kittie-hat

With the right fit it creates details without any additional work :) I grafted the top and used duplicate stitch and some kind of embroidery stitch for additional colours.

Good idea. I love the hats.

Cool! More animal hats! You could stitch in some whiskers and add buttons for eyes if that will help make these more realistic; however, they're fantastic just the way they are!!

Oh. My. God. Those are just adorable!! And your kids are too cute for words!! :yay:

[Olha]

Thanks! You know, I tried buttons and such but none of it made me squeal with delight. And that's the only reaction a cute hat should evoke, in my view :)

Oh please, those children could not be more adorable! I do see where your inspiration comes from. Lovely work on the hats. It's just enough to suggest the cats and bears.

[Olha]

Aw, thanks! Apparently, it's enough for them too, as soon as we dress to go outside they start growling and meowing :)

I love those hats and your models are just too cute!

[GrumpyGramma]

Absolutely adorable! The hats are great. :yay:

These are so adorable! I want one for myself, and that's kind of pathetic because I'm two weeks away from turning 30. But they're just too cute! :)

[bambi]

Very cute hats and the kiddos are adorable!

[Olha]

To Colleen114: Oh, I hear ya! But I don't think it's pathetic at all. Everytime I see a grown up modelling/wearing a funny or weird hat I think -- someone's got a nerve :)

I sure do love your knitting, your family, friends and your photography! Always so nice to see your work!

I always get a kick out of your FO pics. You can tell the kids are delighted with them. The smiles say it all.
