This crochet panda bear hat would make an excellent costume or photo prop for your smaller four legged friends. The hats work up very quickly, use only basic stitches and construction techniques, and fit most adult cats and extra small dog breeds.

Though the pattern is simple and beginner friendly, please note it does use fluffy/fuzzy yarns, which can be a little tricky to work with if you've never used them before because it can be a little hard to see your stitches. Therefore this might not be ideal as a first project, or you may wish to substitute more plain yarns of the same weight.
