Kitty Shark 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 though why not have them stand out with a cute hat

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

Materials:
* Size G 4.0 mm or H 5.0 mm hooks – This will determine the size of the hat. If you use G it will be a bit smaller.
         * Note: I used G on the shark hat shown, but H on all the others
* 3.5 mm Hook for Eyes & Pupil
* Tapestry Needle
* Worsted Weight Gray
* Worsted Weight White
* Worsted Weight Black
