Hat Pattern : Getting Started-

 The first thing you need to do is measure your dog's head according to the picture.

measure loosely, accounting for thickness of hair.

To make the hat larger you can either go up a hook size or two.

or you add additional chs to the ear hole chains.

Size: Pattern worked as written,  will fit approximately a 8-15 lb dog.

Notes: 

Ch 3 at the end of each row  counts as dc.
rows are joined with a slst.
