Feroce is simply a tube closed at the top. This shape creates playful cat-like ears. Attach pompoms or tassels for even more fun.

The stitch pattern, although complex in appearance, is
quite simple. Only one color is used at a time and elongated slipped stitches create the clever chevrons. Using a 3-needle bind- off, the top is clean and neat.
