There are many helpful tips in the guide like stuffing the hat slightly before completing the last few rounds, making it easier to fit. So, you will likely enjoy crocheting these fruity cat faces. Here are other tutorial notes:

Making the Cat's Head and Body: The tutorial begins with a magic ring for the head, followed by single crochets and increases to shape the round head. Several rounds of even single crocheted rows are repeated to for both mid resulting in a sleek sphere.
Creating the Fruit Cap: Different fruits (like avocado, and apple) are crocheted as hats for the cats. Start with the same magic ring method and adjust the stitch count and colours based on the desired fruit type. For a more realistic look, use colour changes and attach details like a leaf or stem.
Adding Ears and Facial Features: The ears are crocheted directly onto the ninth round of the head. Embroider the cat’s face using black yarn for the eyes and nose, ensuring the eyes are evenly spaced.
Final Details: A leaf is crocheted separately and attached to the hat to represent different fruits. Additional embroidery can be done to add small details, such as strawberry seeds or avocado pits, depending on the chosen fruit. You can also add the blushes.
