Kitty cat jester hat

This is what happens after four weeks of Stage Four Covid-19 lockdown.

This pattern uses a 2.5 mm hook and 4 ply pink, green, yellow, purple and blue wool. It is written in American crochet notation. I can’t measure it because Pringles is on my lap but it fits a slightly chonky moggy. You also need 3 bells.
