Crochet Chunky Kitty Bonnet

One of my awesome friends brought a TON of yarn over for craft time a few weeks ago.  My table was COVERED in YARN. I was in HEAVEN!

It was all amazing, soft, blanket yarn. 

Projects with this yarn are generally so fast and fun.  Your items work up quick as a bunny.  I started with snakes.  My first one looked like a giant sperm…  Then I got bored.  Made a kitty bonnet for my daughter with some regular weight yarn, which turned out to be a bit small, so then I decided to make a big fuzzy kitty bonnet with this yarn.

I just made one size.  It would fit small children to small adults.  Obviously it will be a bit oversized on small children, but that can look so cute 😍. I’m actually going to make myself an adult one because its so soft warm, and doesn’t mess up my hair. Minus the ears of course haha.
