Knit Pom Pom Dog Hat with Ear Slits and Braided Tassels

This acrylic knit hat gives a dog a cold-weather look with a gray and black marled finish, a pom pom on top and braided tassels that hang down on each side. Ear slits let the ears come through, so the hat sits snugly on the head without folding them over.

It is a plain-weave knit made to be worn through all four seasons, whether that means a chilly morning walk or a few photos on the sofa. Three sizes are sold, and they are sized by head circumference: S fits 13.0 to 16.1 in (33 to 41 cm), M fits 16.1 to 20.1 in (41 to 51 cm) and L fits 20.9 to 24.0 in (53 to 61 cm).

Measure around your dog's head, just above the eyebrows and behind the ears, with a soft tape, and compare the number with the ranges above. A dog whose measurement lands between M and L, from 20.1 to 20.9 in (51 to 53 cm), is best fitted by trying the larger size and tying the tassels gently. Hats are for supervised wear, so take it off if your dog paws at it or seems bothered.

Hand wash in cool water and lay it flat to dry.
