I’ve included some photos to help you along the way and how to measure your horse for his own hat.
To Crochet, this hat for an AVERAGE horse (Thoroughbred size )
Luckily my little Clydesdale horse is such a sweetheart he would stand all day to be fussed over.
You will need several measurements to CUSTOM the FIT and Size of the Horses Hat
- 1.Size between his ears
- 2. And the measurement from below his ear to the top of his eyebrow.
- 3. Browband
NOTE: This pattern IS a guesstimate as I have not actually found a solid measurement guide so if anyone could help that’d be fantastic.
I have NOT charged for this pattern, Most people think if we own horses, we are rich, but I can assure you that is farthest from the truth EVER!
If you have a horse available to measure it Does make it easier to find a fit.
I have added in several measurements to help you crochet the horse hat, but these are estimates I have taken from bridle sizes.
To make a custom-fit crochet for a horse, you will need 3 measurements
BROWBAND (start to measure from the back of ear around and across the front of ears to the back of the other ear)
Loose enough to get 2 fingers to sit comfortably.
- Small Pony -12′
- pony – 13.5′
- Cob – 15′
- full horse – 16′
- Extra full Draft – 17′
Size Between ears – measure from Base corner of ear to the opposite base
Average sizes
- Small Pony – 4.25′
- PONY – 4.75 ‘
- COB – 5.25′
- HORSE/FULL – 5.75′
- Extra Full/ Draft – 6.5′
Length from above eye to ear. This really is a guestimate!
