Cat lovers everywhere can now show their love for felines with this new hoodie that has ears sewn onto the hood. This is a great way to keep warm during the colder winter months and also show your support for our furry friends.
How to Make a Hoodie with Cat Ears Yourself
Making a hoodie with cat ears yourself for cosplay is really easy! You’ll need a hooded sweatshirt, a piece of felt in the color of your choice, some scissors, a needle and thread, and a hot glue gun.
- Cut two small circles out of the felt and glue them to the top front corners of the hoodie.
- Cut two large triangles out of the felt and glue them to the back of the hoodie, between the shoulder blades.
- Cut four small strips out of the felt and glue them to the front of the hoodie, evenly spaced between the circles you glued on in Step 1.
- Cut four long strips out of the felt and glue them to the back of the hoodie, also evenly spaced between the shoulder blades.
- Glue a strip of felt over the bottom hem of each side of the hoodie so that it covers where you’ll pull it through your head.
- Use fabric glue to attach a quarter-inch wide piece of elastic tape to two of the inside corners of each triangle and another elastic tape to the other two.
- Put on your new hoodie and pull it up through your head like a mask.
Make sure that you use fabric glue to attach the felt pieces to the sweatshirt instead of a hot glue gun since some types of glues can damage the fabric.

Things to Keep in Mind While Making a Hoodie with Cat Ears
Making a hoodie with cat ears can be a great project for kids to learn how to sew. It’s a fun and easy project that will look adorable on any kid who wears it! So, if you want to make one, here are some things you should keep in mind-preparation, materials, sewing the ears onto the hoodie and more.
Preparation
The first thing you should keep in mind is preparation. This will help you to have a less stressful time while sewing up your hoodie with cat ears. First, do some research on the basic materials needed to complete this project. You’ll also need some other supplies, so make sure you have all of those before you start as well.

When it comes to the preparation of the materials, make sure you have a hoodie that’s been washed and dried at least once so that there are no shrinkage problems with the material.
If you’re going for a very specific theme or color, we would recommend doing a little bit more research on colors and designs and such, but if you want to make a really unique and fun hoodie with cat ears, the more creative you get with it, the more adorable your finished product will look.
Design of your Cat Ears
The next thing to think about is the design of the cat ears. A lot of people like to create their own designs on felt or some other material that can be ironed onto the hoodie.
But if you want to keep it simpler and don’t feel confident enough to create your own designs, we would recommend going to a craft store. Since they have all kinds of different materials, you’re sure to find something that works for your project.
Sewing
The next thing on the preparation list is a sewing machine. If you’re going to be sewing on the ears, it’ll be a little bit harder doing it by hand. But if your machine can’t sew through more than a couple of layers of that material, then we would recommend stitching on the ears by hand first.
After that, iron them on and then finish up by top-stitching around the edge of each ear using the sewing machine.
If your machine can handle it, the next thing you should do is determine how many times you’ll need to sew around each ear. The more stitches it has, the harder it will be to tear off, but the less durable it will be over time.
So, make sure you think about that before making your final decision on how many times around you’ll go.
Size of hoodie
Another thing to consider while preparing your materials is the size of your hoodie. If you’re making this for a smaller child, make sure to get something that’s relatively big for them so it can fit comfortably over their head, even with the ears attached.
The good thing about this project is that you only need a small section of the hoodie for this project, so you can always get a bigger one without having to worry about wasting materials.
Hoodie with Cat Ears: Different Ways to Wear them
There are a few different ways to wear your hoodie with cat ears. You can either have the hood up and the ears sticking out, or you can have the hood down and the ears tucked inside. You can also wear the hoodie with the cat ears in the back, or you can wear it with the cat ears in the front.
If you want to wear it with the hood down and ears tucked inside, you can tuck the bottom part of the ear over the string on the side, or you can tuck them, so they are pointing upwards. If you want to wear them in the back, just tie up your hair with a scrunchie or something, then put on your hoodie and hood up.
Whichever way you choose to wear it, make sure that the hood is tight around your head so that the ears stay in place.
In Conclusion
The hoodie with cat ears is a fun and playful addition to any wardrobe. It’s perfect for keeping you warm on chilly days, and the kitty ears add a touch of whimsy. Whether you’re wearing it around town or at a special event, this hoodie is sure to turn heads. So, why not add one to your closet today?
