Join author Jani Oja on her journey crocheting dog hats! Oja began sharing her dogs’ funny snoods on social media in 2018, and her following has grown to more than 2 million enthusiasts. As she says in the book’s introduction, she never planned on becoming the “crazy dog-hat lady,” and she’s excited to help you become a “crazy dog-hat person,” too.
“Not everything in life has to be serious in order to be meaningful!”
These charming words are not only wonderful advice but also a joyful introduction to the cheerful content in Crochet Cute Dog Hats: Funny Snoods and Toppers to Stitch for Your Best Friend. Featuring 19 hats and three foundation patterns, this collection will have you crocheting for your favorite pup in no time.
Maybe you’re looking for a cute photo op with your pups, or you want to make their new favorite Halloween costumes. Maybe you have a celebration coming up, like a birthday or anniversary party, and you’d like your dogs to join in on the fun. Or maybe you simply love the idea of cute dog hats.
No matter the occasion, Crochet Cute Dog Hats has you covered!
At the start of the book, you’ll find a detailed introduction to crochet, including materials needed to make the cute hats, information on different yarn weights, hook sizes and styles, and more. There are many step-by-step tutorials that serve as a great resource for new and experienced crocheters alike.
Next, you’ll find three foundation hat patterns. These foundations begin most of the hats in the book.
Then come the patterns! The first pattern in the book, Snow-Gorls Pom-Pom Hat (p. 48), is super beginner-friendly and super adorable. From there, the patterns tend to increase in complexity and detail. I’m partial to the “Create Your Own Sunshine” Sunflower Hat (p. 50), pictured on the book’s cover, and the “Bing Bong” Broccoli Hat (p. 88) is too funny and precious to pass up. You’ll be a master dog-hat maker in no time.
Lastly, maybe you’ve been wondering how the author managed to snag so many cute photos of her dogs wearing hats. At the end of the book are tips for taking photos of your pups modeling their new crocheted creations.
This would be a wonderful gift for any dog lover in your life. Previous experience with crochet is not required.
