Hi, I just made your dog hat for my daughter’s sighthound. So I made the neck longer, and I used thicker needles (6mm) so the hat became bigger. It worked very well! Thank you 🙏🏻
hi there i love your work !! i have a doberman that needs his ears toasty for winter so thank you for sharing this!!! :) i am going to practice this tutorial bc i’ve never used 4 needles at once lol
Contact me once you get some practice in. I can send you a pattern with covered ears for a doberman. (Upright covered ears). This is not my first request for a hat like that. :)
Thank you I managed to complete this hat for my dog. I’m hoping to pop it on him to block some of the noise of the fireworks which his terrified by. I noticed you’re a combination knitter. You knit in the western style, then you purl in the Eastern style, so the leading leg of the stitch ends up at the back once work is turned. I used to to do the same thing with my purl stitches too, I would wrap my yarn clockwise and pull through with the bottom of my needle. But nowadays, I always wrap my yarn anti-clockwise over the top of my needle and pull through that way. So when I turn my work all my stitches are mounted the same way, it is easier for me now. It took my brain a bit to stop doing it the old way though lol. It’s funny how many people knit differently, but as long their way works for them, then it’s correct.
That is a very interesting comment, and I thank you for your input. I will have to investigate this further for sure. Do you find that you are getting faster with the change that you incorporated? It is overall easier to knit that way? I would be curious to know more about how it has been for you. You are very flexible to learn a new way to purl and break that old habit! Wow! Thank you!
@@LuckyFoxKnits Yeah, it took me a while to get my muscle memory to stop purling the way I used to. I just cast on some stitches and started practicing until I felt I had it. My stitches are always mounted the same way now so it has really helped my knitting. I could never understand why after I had purled stitches my leading leg would end up in the back once I’d turned my work. So I started to look for answers on UA-cam and found “Roxanne Richardson” and watched one of her technique Tuesday videos and once she explained it. Then I finally understood it was the way I was wrapping my yarn when purling. I will try and find the video for you. It’s helped me loads and made my knitting flow better and my speed too. I love your little dog hats they’re so cute. I’m going to try the Christmas one next after I’ve finished my current wip cardigan.
good choice of yarn for beginners, because of how its made the strands dont come apart when you start over etc, also you dont grab half a strand by mistake, this is my second time knitting and if youre a beginner youll save yourself a headache with this yarn
Hi love this and it’s an awesome pattern. I’ve never used double pointed needles and the circular ones are just too confusing, do you think it would be possible to use regular needles and then see the ends?
I have a dog hat that is knitted flat on 2 straight knitting needles. It's the "Beginner Dog Hat" in my Etsy shop Lucky Fox Knits, please find the pattern there. It's a good one.
Hi, I wanted to know if you could post a video on the technique you use to cast on. I’ve never seen someone do it like that and it seems really cool! Thank you if so but it’s okay if not :)
that’s not what I meant lol. I mean the way she’s doing it! I’ve only ever seen it done with the thumb method. and since I commented it, I’ve found a video of how to do this method by iKNITS :)
Considering taking up knitting just because this pattern is so cute, what would you say the difficulty is for someone like me who is experienced at only crochet compared to knitting something like this?
Thank you for sharing! Your patterns are very nice and my dachshund is happy and warm! I have a problem that I don’t understand with this hat . I can’t cast on 52 on three needles. 52 divided 3 does not work out. I bought the bundle of sweaters a couple months back and I the same problem. How many stitches did you have on one needle? Thanks in advance :)
Thank you for your question. The stitches don't need to be divided evenly. You may have as many or as few stitches on each DPN as is comfortable for you. The stitch count doesn't need to be even. For example, when I knit my own dog hat design (one that rewires 48 sts), I cast right onto double pointed needles, and I cast 15 sts onto the first needle, 16 onto the next one, and 17 onto the last needle. :) Hope this helps.
hi, i'm hoping you can help me. i am attempting to finish the top-down mini dachshund sweater. the last instruction is K3, P3, bind off 27, (45 stitches remaining), but that equals 78 stitches and I have only been working with 72 stitches. Please help.
@@karlahernandez-qv5qz Yes, it will take months. You see, I would have to develop an entirely new design, and test it several times to make sure there were no mistakes. Possibly I would have to develop the design in several sizes. Then I would need to do a photo shoot, edit the photos, compose the layout for the PDF, release the written pattern, then make the video (film it, edit it, and post it.) I also work a full time job, and having done all this before many times, I have a realistic idea of how long it will take. Don't worry though, I will for sure get it done. Maybe not lighting fast, but it will be a masterpiece!
I do already sell a knitting pattern design with ear holes. You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop, Lucky Fox Knits. It is a very different design. It's not a simple matter of adding holes. Please understand that "adding holes" means drastically re-designing the hat from the onset. I have already done this work for you. :)
I can make two hats for you no problem. I knit these all the time for customers. Go ahead and write me on Etsy (Lucky Fox Knits is my shop) and I will make a custom listing for you.
There is not specific number that's best. Arrange the stitches so that it is comfortable for you to work, and that's it. I like to do 15 on the first needle, 16 on the second, and 17 on the last needle = 48.
Dear Lucky Fox, thank you for the tutorial. I am the very beginner and it helps me to knit for my dog 🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words. :)

OMG. Im sooooo happy I found this tutorial! I just finished this and it suits perfectly my minpin (3kg).
Thank you ❤🥰😘😊
I'm delighted! Should I make more videos?
@ sure 😻
I really like the way you knit!
Thank you so much!
Спасибо Вам ! Благодаря Вам я научилась вязать шапочки и они не соскакивают!
You’re so talented! I bought the bee hat pattern a while ago and it was so cute!
Thank you so much

Yes, I absolutely can do that. I will work on a new video soon. :)

@@amarillis5934 i will look up that one! tx.
I would be happy to make a video on it. :) I will film and post it shortly.
Ooo stunning!-
Can this pattern be knitted on interchangeable needles if you don't have double pointed needles?
Yes, you can knit this on circular needles using the Magic Loop method.
Considering taking up knitting just because this pattern is so cute, what would you say the difficulty is for someone like me who is experienced at only crochet compared to knitting something like this?
can you use circular knitting needles? what size would you suggest
i would love to try this however, Ive never used 3 needles at once ..(cry) circular??
You can knit it using the "Magic Loop" method on circular needles. Though I think it's still easier with double pointed needles.
Thank you for sharing! Your patterns are very nice and my dachshund is happy and warm!

can you do this pattern with round needles?
Yes, you can use the Magic Loop Method to knit this hat in the round on circular needles. :)
@@LuckyFoxKnits okay thank you!
Hi! Thanks for sharing this. Do you happen to have a pattern or instructions for a hat for dogs with cropped ears?
Thank you for your question. What kind of dog hat did you have in mind?
@@LuckyFoxKnits I have a Doberman with cropped ears. All the hat patterns I found have open ears. Thank you for responding!
@@VirgNTim0430 Oh, I see. So you need a dog hat with "pockets" for upright ears?
@@LuckyFoxKnits Yes!! I was struggling to explain it.
@@VirgNTim0430 I'm working on a pattern like that, and it's almost done. I will try to release it soon.
Can you do this in crochet?
I can for sure, I will try to post a video sometime in the next few months. :)
@@LuckyFoxKnits MONTHS?!
@@karlahernandez-qv5qz Yes, it will take months. You see, I would have to develop an entirely new design, and test it several times to make sure there were no mistakes.

Please understand that "adding holes" means drastically re-designing the hat from the onset. I have already done this work for you. :)
Can I order this pattern?
Yes, this PDF downloadable knitting pattern is available at Etsy.com my shop is called: Lucky Fox Knits
I think that Aran weight yarn is thicker than worsted weight.
Can this be made to fit a boxer?
Yes it can, please write me through my Etsy Shop (LuckyFoxKnits) and I will get you the notes on how to make this hat larger.
Bonjour, pour un caniche petit de 8.5 livre, combien de maille par broche svp 🙏🏼☺️☺️
Looks very difficult. Can someone make one for each of the two dogs I have?
I can make two hats for you no problem. I knit these all the time for customers. Go ahead and write me on Etsy (Lucky Fox Knits is my shop) and I will make a custom listing for you.
Pourquoi on n'a pas le début du modèle (pour le commencer 😮). Et pourquoi personne ne répond aux questions?????😢
The beginning is all there. There are a full 2.5 minutes of explanation of how to start.
How many stiches per needle ??
There is not specific number that's best. Arrange the stitches so that it is comfortable for you to work, and that's it. I like to do 15 on the first needle, 16 on the second, and 17 on the last needle = 48.
Je me pose la même question car 52 ne se divise pas vraiment par 3, à moins que ce soit 17 par aiguille !
