Materials You’ll Need

To start, gather the following materials:

• Yarn: Choose a worsted weight yarn in black for the hat and a contrasting color, like purple or orange, for the brim and accents. Acrylic yarn is a good option as it’s durable and easy to wash.
• Hook: A crochet hook size G/4.0mm, depending on the thickness of your yarn and the tightness of your stitches. ( I crochet extremely loosely you may need to go up a size hook)
• Stitch Markers: Helpful for keeping track of your rounds.
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.
• Optional: Embellishments like a small buckle, ribbon, or a pom-pom for added flair.

Adjusting for Comfort – Creating the under-chin ties

Since your pet will be wearing this hat, comfort is key. Ensure that the hat is snug but not too tight. If necessary, add chin straps by chaining 2 lengths and adding them to the main hat central stitch between the ears or using a small piece of elastic or crocheted ties that can be tied under your pet’s chin to keep the hat in place.
