These cute little pom pom pet hats, are so fun to knit and wear! Knit up a kitty cat, bunny or puppy pet hat for your little one with this easy knitting pattern!
You guys, I don’t think I could BE any more excited about this pom pom pet hats knitting pattern. Imagine me talking like Chandler Bing when I say that.
But seriously, these pom pom pet hats are THE CUTEST. End of story.
I knit up an adorable snowman hat last year and shared that pattern with you and a whole bunch of you knit them for Christmas and loved that pattern. So I decided I should make more. Pet hats it is!
Here’s the Kitty Cat Pom Pom Pet Hat:
They’re basically like wearable stuffed animals, what’s not to love right? Let me tell you, Baby V was beyond excited when she saw her pet hats. It got lots of very positive comments when she wore it to school that day too.
Then we had a bit of a crisis because she couldn’t decide between the cat, puppy and bunny. I mean, it really is a hard choice.
Then there is the adorable Bunny Pom Pom Pet Hat:
I’m pretty sure there will be more pom pom pet hats knitting patterns coming. I can imagine a whole bunch of adorable other animals. And they’re fun to knit so I don’t mind whipping up some more.
Seriously, there’s something really satisfying about embroidering their cute little faces.
And finally, the Puppy Dog Pom Pom Pet Hat:
What animals would you like to see in the next version of pom pom pet hats?

Cassie, I’ve bought this pattern and finished the hat part. But could you please show me (in a video) how to pick up the 16 stitches when starting the Pom Pom. I’m worried it won’t be even or I will mess it up 😣
