Free Cat Ear Pattern

My daughter Ella, and my niece, Sara, share a birthday on January 11th. My niece is having a Hello Kitty themed party so I decided to have a go at a Hello Kitty inspired head band. To be honest, I am not 100% thrilled with this headband but maybe the next one will be even better!  Either way, my daughter LOVES it!
