In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I've come up with a new leprechaun hat for large breed dogs. Now your pet can show some Irish spirit, don some green, and join in your festivities.

My leprechaun dog hat consists of a simple top hat that was entirely hand crocheted. It features a decorative black ribbon, foam gold buckle, and a crochet shamrock, all of which are secured in place.

Wearing Instructions

The hat was intended to serve as a cute holiday photo prop. It is held in place by a small elastic chin strap. The elastic chord is firm but stretchy so as to fit a larger variety of dog breeds and sizes. Because of this though, there are no ear straps on this version of my hat. 

Tip: Try the hat on your pet several times before your photo opp to help him/her get used to it. Be sure to bring lots of rewards!

Measurements and Sizing

To ensure the best fit for your dog, I have included the approximate measurements of the hat below:
- 4.75" / 12cm from the bottom of the hat's brim to the top of the hat
- 4.75" / 12cm across the top of the hat
- 13.75" / 35cm along the elastic band (intended to be smaller than the dog's head as this will stretch and will only cover the area from ear to ear under the dog's chin)
