This hat is a choose your own adventure. You decide which length to make. The Grey Poodle is short and more Beanie style. The Pink Poodle longer and more Slouch Style. You can choose to double the yarn in the brim to make the brim fluffier or use just the one ball at a time for a thinner look. The pictures of the Grey Poodle Hat shows the outcome of using one ball and the pictures of the Pink Poodle Hat, what the brim will be like with using two balls at the same time.
So are you a Pink Poodle or a Grey Poodle? Do you like your fur long or short?
A fur yarn could be substituted instead of the Drops Melody or the Cleckheaton Mohair. Or any other thicker fluffy yarn.

Decide upon size and thickness of brim before purchasing the yarn.

This hat is worked flat forming a rectangle shape. Colour change technique is used throughout. Basic hdc (usa) htr (uk) into the back loop is used. This is a simple pattern suitable for a beginner and there are pictures to show colour change for those who have not done it before.
