    I can knit! Please post a picture of the hat you're using now. Do you have a pattern?

    Lut, Oh I hope you can help. I dont have a pattern, but I could probably find one? I am sure I could do an online search, and if that did not work, I could go to the craft store and buy it.

    I have a picture of him wearing one.. I will post it.

    It would not need to be anything fancy, just something warm for his bald head/ears. It would need something around the rim to tie under his chin though, otherwise he would shake it off.

    Let me know if you think you could make him one or a few. Here is the picture...


    Like I said, I know this one is fancy. If I would have known that I would have such a tiny dog when I found this one, I would have bought a few. But I did not have Joey when I bought it, I just had a kitten I thought it would look cute on


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    The pattern is more complicated than the hat he wears. The hat he wears would be a simple 4 needle tube in 2 right/2left and it looks as if it is pulled together with an elastic yarn. I don't have knitting needles anymore but if I know how to do it, then anybody should be able to do it - I'm manually challenged all over.

    BTW-you should at least control his cigarette intake if he doesn't manage to quit altogether

    Barbara, LOL! My hubby thought it would be funny It is cute though!

    And thanks about the pattern. I have NO IDEA what all that stuff meant, but it is the only one I could find in a short time. I am not a handy person at all.

    I know my grandmother was really good at knitting, I remember watching her for hours when I was young. I wish I would have listened to her when she would try to teach me to knit and crochet


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    Joey is exceptionally cute in his winter woolies. If you can count how many stitches his existing hat has, and measure around the rim and also the length from brim to elastic, I would be willing to have a go at it.

    KT,
    If you can provide some of the dimensions i.e. how long, wide, etc., I could try and put one together for you as well. It should be fairly easy to make!

    First off, I am SO sorry about the virus in the link! I had NO idea, and my computer did not tell me it had one. Thanks ChrisH for the warning!

    LOL, I will try and get Joey to stop. He just likes his "squares" and wants to show it off

    Richard, that is what I said! SNOOP DOG


    Ok.. The measurements are :

    Lengthwise 3 inches.
    And from the elastic to rim 3 1/2 inches
    The top piece is 1 1/2 inches ( but I dont think that is needed in measurements.
    But the TOTAL from top to bottom is 4 1/2- 5 inches long.

    Does this help???

    And please whomever is going to make him one, PM me with prices and all so I can know what to expect

    And I can not thank you all enough for helping Joeys ears He is going to be one happy pup

    What's the circumference of the bottom, and how about Joey's head? That'll help.

    Circumference is 6 inches.

    His head was 6 - 6 1/2 inches circumference.

    Does this help?

    OK, so I have knitted a 4 1/2 inch tube.



    If you would like to PM me with your address I will send it to you. If it fits (although it looks more like an egg cosy than a dog's hat) I can do more.

    From the measurements it sounds like you could use a pattern for a premie baby hat and it would be about the right size.

    But that is one really cute hat Karen
