Free Crochet Pattern: Kitty / Skunk Ears Headband

Aliyah2

Halloween is coming soon and perhaps there are a few other procrastinators out there besides myself??  I still don’t know for sure what my children will be for Halloween, but I’m sure it will be something fun (and last-minute) as usual!

If you haven’t come up with any ideas for your little one, why not try this simple pattern!  It can be made in a matter of minutes.  Add a little face paint (or washable marker), some matching clothes and you have a quick and easy costume!  If you have a few more minutes, whip up a quick tail to add to your little one’s rear and no one will be able to kidlet from kitty.  If your little one is too cool to be a cat, use black and white yarn and call them a skunk instead!
