Introducing the Dog Walker Hat, a fun design featuring playful dogs worked in stranded colorwork.

To manage the longer floats between the dogs, the pattern incorporates the ‘Ladderback Jacquard Stitch method’, which helps keep the back of the work neat and tidy. Step-by-step instructions and a detailed video tutorial are included to make learning this technique easy!

Prefer not to use the Ladderback Jacquard method? No problem! You can simply twist the main color (MC) and contrast color (CC) on the back of the fabric instead—both methods work perfectly fine.

The red hat is knit with 100% merino yarn paired with GLO reflective yarn, making it both stylish and practical. The reflective yarn shines brilliantly under light, making it perfect for nighttime dog walks!
