Smitten Kitten Hat

 
Gina Michele over at Rock Mosaic whipped up a simple DIY Knit Cat Ear Hat using just one stitch and some clever seaming. Once I saw this hat I was smitten! I knit one for The Minion Straightaway.

Using some leftover Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick, in Fig, and a pair of size 13 knitting needles; I was able to knit this hat in just under an hour. I cast on 20 sts and knit 18 in. After binding off I seamed lengthwise :) 
The Minion looks adorable and most importantly super warm!

 
I think some blocking might be in order to give the "ears" a bit more shape but, all in all, I'm happy with how it turned out!
