Dress your favorite amigurumi doll or plushie in style with the Cat Ear Hat Doll Outfit Set Amigurumi Crochet Pattern. This complete outfit includes a cat ear hat (beanie style with pointed ears) and a matching scarf or capelet. Designed to fit 8-10 inch dolls (like typical amigurumi bunnies, bears, or human dolls), the set is worked in worsted weight yarn and uses basic stitches. The hat is worked from the brim up, with ears crocheted separately and sewn on. The scarf is a simple rectangle with fringe. This pattern is beginner-friendly and a great way to use up leftover yarn. Mix and match colors for endless combinations—black cat hat with pink accents, or orange tabby with striped scarf. The outfit is removable, so your doll can change clothes for different seasons.
About This Crochet Pattern
The Cat Ear Hat and Scarf set fits most standard 8-inch amigurumi dolls. The hat is worked in the round from the bottom edge up, then gathered at the top. The ears are made as triangles and sewn to the hat before closing the top, or after. The scarf is worked flat and can be wrapped around the neck or tied. The pattern includes instructions for adding a pom-pom or bell to the hat. Difficulty: beginner. The only requirement is crocheting in the round and simple seaming. This is a perfect mini project for practicing hat shaping. The entire set uses less than 50 yards of yarn, making it ideal for scraps.
Materials Needed
Use worsted weight yarn in any colors. A 3.5 mm hook works well for doll-sized items. Below is the list.
- Worsted weight yarn: main color (40 yards), contrast for ears or scarf stripes (10 yards)
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle, scissors
- Optional: small bell or pom-pom for hat
- Gauge: 18 sc x 20 rows = 4 inches (not critical)
Crochet Pattern
Hat: chain 30, join to form a ring, work in rounds of sc for 10 rounds (hat height). Then decrease (sc2tog) every other stitch for 2 rounds, then decrease every stitch for 1 round, pull tight. Ears (make 2): magic ring 6 sc, increase to 12, work even for 2 rounds, then decrease to 6, fasten off leaving tail. Sew ears to the hat at the front edge. Scarf: chain 8, work in rows of sc for 40 rows, add fringe (cut 4-inch pieces, fold, pull through). Attach scarf around doll’s neck. Optional: add a small chin strap to the hat using a chain of 15 sewn to each side.
- Hat shaping: to make a slouchy hat, work more rounds before decreasing; for a fitted beanie, work fewer
- Ear placement: sew ears at round 5 from the bottom, spaced about 10 stitches apart
- Scarf fringe: use 2 strands per fringe knot for a fuller look
- Assembly: sew all pieces with matching yarn, hiding knots inside the hat
- Tip: use a stitch marker to mark ear positions before sewing
Tips or Notes
- To make the outfit fit larger dolls (12-14 inches), increase the starting chain to 36 and add more rows
- Add a small button to the scarf to keep it closed around the doll’s neck
- Customization: make a matching cat tail belt or booties to complete the set
