FREE Crochet Pattern - Molly Hayes' Crochet Cat Hat from Runaways TV Show
UPDATE 2/11/23: Added a little note about BLO, which for some reason I always forget all the time, but as a general rule, if you have known me for a while, you know I have a weird BLO preference. I just like the way it looks! IDK!

Molly wears a knit cat hat in episode 1 of Runaways, but let's forget that hat for right now. The superior hat from the first season is the crochet cat hat that she wears in a couple of the later episodes. If you're interested in the knit hat from episode 1 then stick around because I'm going to get to it, I promise! It just might take me a while on account of real life job.
NB: Before you get started, I used a J hook and the hat stitches came out a bit looser than intended. I recommend dropping down to an H or I, but be careful not to get so tight that it interferes with the sizing. This pattern is for a generic average-sized hat. IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT SIZE, drop down your hook size more dramatically and it should get the job done.
What You Need:
- crochet hook (size H)
- pink worsted weight yarn
- 1.5" pom pom maker
- yarn needle
Skills Needed/Abbreviations
- ch: chain
- sl: slip stitch
- sc: single crochet
- hdc: half-double crochet
- dc: double crochet
- st/sts: stitch/stitches
- rnd/rnds: round/rounds
I worked in back loops only, but it shouldn't be a huge deal if you don't.
Pattern
Main body of hat.
Starting at the top of the hat, leave a long tail to seam later.
Starting at the top of the hat, leave a long tail to seam later.
Ch 70, join to form loop being careful not to twist the ch;
Rnd 1: ch 2 (this is the 1st dc), dc in each ch around, sl in top of 2nd ch (70);
Rnds 2-10: ch 2, dc around, sl in top of 2nd ch (70);
Rnd 11: ch 1, hdc around, sl into the top of ch (70);
Earflaps
With the hat laying flat and looking nice and rectangular, wrong side facing you, count 9 sts on either side of one of the flat edges, rejoin the yarn at the 1st st you just counted.
Row 1: ch 1 (this is the 1st hdc), 17 hc, ch 1, turn (18);
Row 2: hdc across, ch 1, turn (18);
Row 3: dec at either end, ch 1, turn (16);
Row 4-10: repeat 3 until 2 sts remain;
Break off and leave a very long tail.
Repeat this on the opposite side for the 2nd earflap.
Edging
Braid the 3 strands together until the braided piece is about 9” then knot the end and attach a 1.5” pom pom. Trim excess.
Boom. Done. Happy crafting!
