Easter Bunny Cat Hat Crochet Pattern

Do you have a kitty? Maybe your cat is ready to celebrate Easter in style, and incognito… as a bunny rabbit! This adorable, quick crochet pattern for an Easter Bunny Cat Hat is so quick to work up and lasts just long enough for photos. Ha! Grab your hook and let’s work up an Easter Bunny Hat for your Cat!

Crochet Easter Bunny Cat Hat

These little bunny hats for cats work up in NO TIME flat. With just a handful of rounds and a couple of cute little bunny ears, we’ve got an adorable “bunny” ready for photos for Easter. Will your cat wear one?

If this isn’t the most adorable thing I’ve seen lately… I love it!

We are using a worsted weight yarn for this pattern. I used Brava Worsted in white but you could use Herrschners, Mary Maxim, or any other worsted weight acrylic yarn you like. We only need about 45 yards total, which means scrap yarn will most likely do.

This bunny cat hat comes in just one size. If you have a large cat, or it needs to be larger for some reason, try going up a hook size and/or using a slightly bulkier weight yarn.

Grab the ad-free, printable version of this pattern on Ravelry, Etsy, or right here in the Heart Hook Home Blog Shop. Thank you!
