These cute fox and wolf themed hats have a ribbed brim and a stocking stitch body with a Fair Isle (stranded colourwork) fox or wolf repeat pattern encircling the lower section of the hat body. The hats pictured are worked using a lovely wool acrylic mix yarn in DK/light worsted weight on 4mm/US6 needles. The hats could be topped with a pompom, although you would need to allow additional yarn for this.

The pattern covers sizes from baby to adult and the instructions are written for both knitting in the round using a circular needle with no seaming necessary or knitting flat on two needles with a seam at the back; you may, therefore, only wish to print the appropriate pages for your project.
