This dog hat design is actually based on a human sock! Can you see the resemblance? Many times, as I put on my knitted socks in the morning, I’ve thought to myself, “gosh one of these would make an awesome dog hat--if only I made a few adjustments!” I became curious, and finally put my theory to the test. With a few adaptations, the sock base turned into a beautiful dog hat! This hat design fits like a dream on my little Jezebel, (she is a mini dachshund) and the hat knits up just like a standard sock normally would--only you don’t ever have to make the second sock--haha!

Comfortable and formfitting, it stays on well without feeling tight on the dog. The hat is worked in a rib stitch, and for this reason it naturally retains elasticity. This adorable dog hat is knitted in the round on double pointed needles, and is a seamless design. The top is adorned with a pair of cute little pom-poms for a splash of stylish pizazz! The pattern comes with illustrative photos and written step by step instructions on how to make the pom-poms.

If you’re like me, then you love knitting with awesome yarn! This project is worked in a heavenly--and insanely beautiful speckle dyed yarn by Manos Del Uruguay! While designing this hat, I enjoyed knitting every single stitch. As stylen as it is functional, this hat will keep your doggies ears nice and warm, while driving the neighbors dog crazy with jealousy! This pattern is super rewarding to work up. The instructions for this pattern are extra detailed and clear, so you can rest assured that there will be only smooth sailing as you coast through this super fun knitting project.

Size: Fits small dogs with a head circumference of 10 inches around
