*that tutorial has long been a favorite of mine for making hats. it's a really simple pattern and it looks really nice when wearing it. you'll have to figure out the ears on your own though, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
Old thread, but I'll post some advice anyway, even though you've probably figured all this out on your own by now...
smile This one's actually a lovely pattern, and the one I've used for most of the animal hats I've made. Cat ears aren't difficult-- basically, all you need to do to make one ear is cut out two half-circles of fleece (they can be the same color or, if you want the inside of the ear to be lighter, they can be different colors.) Then you pin them together, with the "good" sides facing inward, and stitch along the curved edge. Flip the whole thing right-side-out, fold it in half, and you've got an ear!
Putting them on the hat can be a little trickier. Basically, you follow the hat tutorial until you get to the part where you sew the two halves of the hat together. It'll take some figuring out, but you want to sew the ears
into this seam, rather than just stitching them on the top. Again, since your hat is inside-out at this point, it'll take some work to get them facing the right direction and in the right place, but it's not too difficult.
Best of luck! Feel free to PM me if you need any help (I know my directions weren't too clear...)
