Solid Black Cat Hat with Ears Soft Winter Crochet Knit Chunky Bulky Thick Beanie

Description: Handmade Crochet Solid Black Women's Pussy Cat Hat Soft & thick black winter hat with cat ears. I used a high quality bulky wool/acrylic blend yarn. The hat is made in a trapezoidal shape, with the ears being formed simply by putting it on. The corners can be pinched together a little to make them look more like actual cat ears. The color in the photos is a deep solid black. I can make this same hat in any of the Wool-Ease yarn colors I use. Please send me a message if you're interested in another color. The colors can be seen in my eBay store in the following store category: http://stores.ebay.com/Micheles-Handmade-Scarves/Wool-Acrylic-Blend-Scarves-/_i.html?_fsub=4118346012 I (Michele) design and hand-crochet all of my items. My pricing is based on yarn costs, crocheting time, and Ebay & Paypal seller fees. After a busy year I'm making most items to order (which means I make them after they are purchased). The handling time in each listing will be an indication of the time it takes me to make the hat. The handling time for this hat is currently five to ten business days, but if sales are slow, I may get it shipped sooner. (: Yarn Content: 80% Acrylic/20% Wool Yarn Brand & Color: Wool-Ease Thick N Quick in Black Approximate Height: 8.5 inches/21.6 cm Approximate Width (when hat is lying flat): 10.5 inches/ 26.5 cm Thickness: 1/2 inch/ 1.2 cm SIZE: One size fits most (adult women). This hat will fit best on a head size of 22" to 23" (56 - 58.5 cm). If you need the hat to be slightly smaller, larger, or would just like it to be a little looser, send me a message and I can decrease or increase the size a little. The mannequin In the photos has a head size of 22 inches/55.8 cm and the hat fits loosely and comfortably on her. HAT HEIGHT: The hat in the photos is a little higher than I normally make them, meaning it comes down quite far on the forehead, right above the eyes on most people. If you'd like a shorter hat height, please send me a message or leave a "note to seller" when checking out. I consider a height of 7.5 to 8 inches to be a standard height. This hat is crocheted "in the round", so only one seam at the top of the hat. The area in the back where I turn to start new rows will look a little different than the rest of the stitches (you can see this in the last photo). PLEASE NOTE: This yarn contains some wool, so if you're allergic to or even sometimes irritated by wool, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this item. As far as wool/acrylic blends go, this one is great quality & very soft, but will still bother those of us who tend to get itchy when wearing wool. (: CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Can be washed in cold and dried in dryer on low setting. However, I recommend either hand-washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, or washing on a gentle cycle in a lingerie bag and drying only a few minutes in the dryer. The gentler washing & drying prevents the yarn from frizzing over time. Avoid washing with heavier garments that cause friction. If using washing machine, avoid washing with items that have zippers, buttons, etc that may snag the yarn loops and pull on them or make the yarn fray. The general rule for washing crocheted items and keeping them looking as new as possible: the gentler, the better. (: Note: All yarns come with a bit of "factory residue" that causes a little stiffness. This will disappear with regular handling and/or the first wash, bringing out the true softness of the yarn. U.S. SHIPPING: I keep shipping to a minimum and offer USPS First Class Package as the best value for price & speed. For multiple orders, I often use Priority Mail. I use the Paypal USPS integrated shipping system whenever possible, so you will be provided with a delivery confirmation number by email. I do combine shipping and already have discounts set up through Ebay, but may be able to reduce shipping costs even more if you'd like to request a total after purchasing multiple items but before paying for them. Once shipped, almost all of my shipments within the U.S. arrive in two to five mailing days. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I always combine shipping for multiple orders and already have discounts set up through Ebay. I will always refund any significant overpayment of postage costs. I most commonly use USPS First Class International for shipping outside of the US. First Class International may take a longer time to arrive than other services, but it's much more affordable than Priority International (which usually runs $25 or more for a few ounces). Delivery time for international packages is usually 5 to 15 business days. Customs, bad weather, or national holidays can sometimes slow down a package with the occasional shipment taking around 30 days to arrive. This only happens to about 5% of my international shipments. (: As of January 27th, 2013, USPS has raised prices for First Class International, in some cases almost doubling the amount they used to charge. On a positive note, they are starting to include tracking and delivery confirmation as part of the First Class service. They are beginning with Canada and will be adding other countries in the future. The amount I charge for First Class International shipping includes the weight of a cardboard box. If you’d like me to ship your scarf or scarves in a polymer shipping envelope, I do have those available. Using shipping envelopes can sometimes reduce the total package weight and lessen the cost of shipping. Please let me know if you’d like me to ship using this type of packaging and I’ll see if there’s a price difference. If you’ve already paid for the scarf and shipping, I can always issue a refund through Paypal for the difference. International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. RETURNS: For now, I am not accepting returns, but am completely open to resolving any problems that may occur. I feel the best strategy is to head off any problems before they even happen. If you have any questions whatsoever about any items I am selling, please ask. Thanks for looking & supporting American Small Businesses! (:
