Black & Grey Mixed Color Hand-Knitted Earmuff Hat / Beanie

A blend of curly, mixed black and white yarns with 100% wool yarn creates a fluffy, adorable, and warm hat. To achieve the desired slouchy effect, the original rounded crown was altered to have a straight edge finish, resulting in a shape that resembles a slightly open rectangle when viewed from the front. Playfully, you can pinch the sides to create charming little cat ears. To remove them, simply press them down following the contour of your head. ***Please note that the cat ears may shrink or disappear with movement and are not fixed. Additionally, if the hat fits very snugly, it may be difficult to press down and eliminate the ears. Your understanding is appreciated.*** The ear flaps can be worn hanging down or folded up according to your preference. Due to the color variations in the curly mixed yarn, each hat's color distribution will differ slightly and may not perfectly match the photograph.
