Cat ear beanie

I made this for a friend who gave me a bunch of yarn. She personally requested that I put a braided tail with a pom pom at the end. She even drew a diagram to show me what she had in mind. Anyways, this was a super easy and pretty quick beanie. You don't need to know how to decrease to make this beanie. You are however, gonna need to know how to sew. 

Yarn used:

Vanna's Choice Lion Brand Yarn Company

Silver Grey

100% acrylic

Medium weight 4

Needles: US7 (4.5mm) double pointed needles

Pattern:

-cast on 72 stitches

-2X2 ribbing for 2.5 inches.

     -Future reference: I would knit 9-11 inches  (or more) for a larger beanie for those with a larger            head or for those who want the slouchie beanie effect. 

-bind off

-sew bind off edge together to make a rectangle

-TURN BEANIE INSIDE OUT

NOTE: the more the corners are poked in the bigger the ears

sew corner edges together
