In reply to the discussion: I wore my pussyhat to the grocery store today [View all]cyclonefence
(4,483 posts)11. I've had good luck with items from Etsy, too,
but the prices they're asking for many of those hats is outrageous. I can make 2 1/2 hats per $5 skein of yarn.
If you sew, or even if you don't, you could make one out of fleece. Cut a rectangle of pink fleece about 20" x 10". Fold it in half lengthwise and sew up the sides. Turn it right side out and roll up the bottom so it fits your head. Poke a pencil into the top corners to make the ears stick up.
The measurements are guesses. Buy a yard of fleece--or find an old pink nightgown at Goodwill and cut it up--and experiment until you get the right fit. This isn't couture--there's a lot of wiggle room in these hats.
