A friend of mine asked me to make him a hat with his dog on it. The rest is history! Due to popular demand I also added a cat version of the chart

I recommend using Ladderback Jackard technique to make this hat as there would be a lot of floats to catch in this design if knitted stranded and the contrasting colour can make this hard to hide.

If you’re unsure, this video is the best I’ve seen for detaling:

I have included two versions of the chart. A plain version and a ladderback jackard version, which details the jackard stitches that will be on the needles for the colourwork section.

One Size. Hat is 50cm circumference, to fit adult head 52-58cm

Hat is made with 3 colours of fingering yarn
A Light (45g / 189m / 207 yards)
B Dark (15g / 63m / 69 yards)
C Splash (2x strands <1m for collar)
