I love making cute Christmas accessories for my pets. My cats have a Santa hat to wear for photos this time of the year, but not my dog. I didn’t want him to feel left out so I made him his own crochet santa hat for dogs. I choose to believe he is thrilled about this.
This Santa hat is a larger version of my Santa Hat for Cats. It is made to fit large sized dogs such as Labradors.
For this pattern I used Big Twist Value yarn and a 5.5mm crochet hook.

I think my dog looks adorable in his new crochet Santa hat for dogs. He was not so sure but he enjoyed the treats that he gets for wearing it long enough for me to take photos of him.
