For a last-minute gift, a woollen hat with kitten ears, to fit a 3 month old.  From Workbasket magazine, June 1949 - left-click to enlarge.

Wish I had a wee one to make this for....All the nephews are adultish.

I love this! Knit on a finer needle, it might fit a baby doll - or a cat.

If you get one of your cats to wear this, we want video evidence.

Neither of my cats will wear a collar or a even a bow. Both look like that black cat that felled the Christmas tree. Oh so tempting to try anyway. What have I got to lose except some skin?

I'd pay to see Bunnykins' video of her putting a hat on her cat. Little Miss Maine Coon won't let us pick her up to clip her nails, so a hat means certain death.

Knit it in pink on bigger needles and wear it to the next anti-Trump rally.

My grandmother used to make hats similar to this for my sister and me.
