The Closed-Ear Hat is shaped to cover your dog's ears entirely — knitted ear-shapes are worked right into the hat, so the whole head stays warm without pinching or pulling. A go-to for the coldest walks, especially for breeds with small ears that get cold first.
The piece is worked top-down from the forehead. A picot-fold edge gives a clean finish at the front; each ear-shape is knitted on its own with increases and decreases, so they hold their form; and the neck section finishes with an elastic bind-off, so it pulls on without stretching out. What's inside the master class: - A yarn guide — what to choose, and how much you'll need for your dog's size - How to measure your dog (head and neck) so the fit is right - Step-by-step video walkthrough — top-down construction, ear shaping, neck ribbing - The ear-shapes: increases first, then decreases, one ear at a time - The picot-fold finish at the front edge - Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
