Adult and Baby Animal Hat patterns also available there!

Here’s a versatile pattern for children’s hats with an animal theme! Pattern includes directions for a unicorn, a dragon, a cat, a dog and a bear. There are also many design options for the construction.

This pattern if for Bulky Knitting Machines with or without a Ribber.

Pattern comes in 3 sizes: 2T (3T-5 years, 6-10 years)
Finished Hat Circumference (approximately): 18” (19”, 20”)

Directions are given for ribbing (if you have a ribber) and for hung hems (if you don’t) with an option for a picot edging on the hung hems.

There are also 3 options for securing the hat: attached ties, gathered ties (through the hung hem) or a ribbed chin strap with button or snap, so kids can have a choice.

The photos show a few of the combinations of hats that you can come up with. Not only are they fun, but they are warm - fitting close to the head and covering the ears for a toasty noggin.

Hat is constructed so that you sew-as-you-go. It will come off the machine with little to do but sew on the ears and other design elements. Everything is done on the machine - hat, ears, attached ties or chin strap, horns, mane - everything!

Yarn: Aran Weight (US Medium - size 4 yarn)
Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches
Notions: You will also need a button or snaps for the chin strap option. You will also need a small amount of polyurethane foam to stuff inside the horns if you are making them. (that’s the stuff like in a mattress topper or a chair pad).
