I love making hats for my pets and children. It’s even more fun when they all have matching hats. I made dinosaur hats for my daughters and cats a while ago, but recently realized I never made one for our dog. This was my inspiration for the crochet dinosaur hat for dogs.
This is a very simple project. I made the hat similar to my Crochet Hat for Dogs, and the spikes from my Crochet Dinosaur Hat.
For this project I used a 6 mm crochet hook, and Big Twist Value yarn.

We think he looks great in his new hat! He wasn’t too sure about it, but he loved the attention that he got for wearing it.
