Knit Pom-Pom Dog Hat with Braided Ties

This is a small knit beanie made for a dog's head, in a chunky cable-style knit with a soft pom-pom on top. Two long braided ties hang down each side and end in tassels, and you tie them under the chin to keep the hat in place. The photos show it on dogs and on cats, and it comes in pink or gray.

The hat is made of acrylic yarn, which gives it a soft feel and a warm, wool-like look. It is a good pick for chilly walks, photos and holiday cards, though as a fashion piece it is not a replacement for a coat in harsh weather.

Choose your size by head circumference. The small is for heads of about 13.0 to 16.1 inches (33 to 41 cm), the medium for about 16.1 to 20.1 inches (41 to 51 cm), and the large for about 20.9 to 24.0 inches (53 to 61 cm). Measure around the widest part of the head, just above the eyes and over the ears, with a soft tape, and size up if you land between two sizes. Tie the bow loosely enough that you can slip a finger under it. Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. Each order includes one hat.
