Narby Pompom Cat Hat

Welcome to the pattern for our Narby Pompom Cat Hat. As used by reserchers at the Université de Montréal! "Researchers ... have created a first-of-its-kind electrode-lined crochet beanie that can be used to measure a cat’s brain activity. Aside from being adorable, the custom-made wool caps also let researchers ... conduct EEG brain scans on felines without having to sedate them."
