Kitty Mouse Beanie Crochet Pattern

We have a wonderful Animal Shelter/Sanctuary here in our small town of Fallbrook and the poor black kittens are the
last to get adopted. I thought it would be funny for a kitty to be a mouse. Lol!

Size: Kitten Approx. 10” around and 6” High

Materials:
* Size G 4.0 mm Hook 

      Joann's or Amazon

* Size H 5.0 mm Hook

     Joann's or Amazon 

(This will determine the size of the hat. If you use G it will be a bit smaller.)
* Size F 3.75 mm Hook for Inner Ear

     Joann's or Amazon 
* Note: I used G on the shark hat, but H on this one
* Tapestry Needle

    Joann's or Amazon 
* Worsted weight Gray & Pink Yarn

    Red Heart Super Saver or Big Twist Yarn
