Earflap

Tassels
Cut strips of yarn 22 inches long. Fold in half (you will pull the yarn through at this fold). Insert hook into the middle st on one of your ear flaps. Pull through yarn.
Now pull yarn ends through the loop.
And tighten. Now braid your tassel, or leave the strands loose.
Trim
I gave the hats a frilly trim. To do this insert your hook into one of the posts on the last round of your hat.
Pull up loop, ch3 and sc in same st. Now sc, ch3, sc in every post around the entire hat, fo. Your trim should look like this.
Now weave in all your ends, and your done! Now put it on your little one!

Could you put up a pattern for a hat with a flatter top??

Hello Tina,
DeleteYes, the top of the hat is worked in the round with a stitch marker. And I hope you enjoy the pattern :)
I made a red hat and modified it without the earflaps and did the last couple of rows in a fluffy white yarn and now Spike has a Santa hat!

ReplyDeleteLove it. Going to try to amend it to knit since I dont crochet!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you add the little bobbles of color? I finished the hat, but that part was missing. Thank you and I love it! Your directions were so clear even for a beginner like me!
ReplyDeleteHello! Yes, I crocheted little circles and sewed them on after the hat was finished.
DeleteGreat post but I was wondering if you could write a little more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Thanks in advance! Lab Puppies for sale North Carolina

ReplyDeleteYour chihuahuas look so adorable in their little christmas tree hats!! I've always gotten my 2 dogs snoods from Zoo Snoods because they're too cute (animal-themed!) and they keep them warm! You can check them out here: https://www.zoosnoods.com/ But this is too adorable not to try out, so I'm definitely adding this as a project this month. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone made this for a miniature dachshund please?
