Finally, a perfectly reasonable way to match your dog while also keeping your ponytail free.

The Bunny Love Ponytail Hat is a chunky knit hat featuring big floppy bunny ears and an opening at the top for your ponytail to pop through. It was designed to match the Bunny Love Dog Snood, which means you and your dog can head out together looking like a pair of extremely fashionable rabbits.

Worked with super-bulky yarn, this is a simple, speedy project that can be knit in a single afternoon. It’s a fun choice when you want something satisfying without committing to a weeks-long project — and the finished hat is definitely not going unnoticed.

The pattern includes two stretchy sizes designed to fit teens through adults.

And if your dog already has the Bunny Love Snood? You know what needs to happen next.
