Dog Hat

On my craft stall last week someone said "Can you make me a dog hat?" My mind whirred, I wasn't sure what to say, I was thinking of ear sizes and how different dogs have different sized heads etc. so I tried to clarify the request by saying "What sort of dog?" I am now in inner turmoil, I am thinking maybe Ravelry will help me out in some way and then she said...

"Any dog, my niece loves dogs and she would love a dog hat!"

PHEWWWWW! I am glad I did not show myself up as a complete crochet nutter and gladly took the order for a dog hat for a 7 year old. Here it is, on Little M just for show...




It is a re-hash of my Amelia hat pattern (on the right) With a deeper brim, eyes with button centres and improvised ears, decreasing and increasing as I saw fit for a dog ear. A dog hat, honestly what was I thinking!

    That's a fab hat, and well done you for figuring it out! I'm going to share the Amelia hat pattern with one of my workshop students, it's just what she's looking for! :) cx

      Great, I hope it works out for them. I did a workshop for it on Monday night and 4 people made varying sized hats. Jo x
