The Blair Bonnet was inspired and named after my sweet granddaughter, Blair. She is a bright light in this world, just like her twin sister. She fills each day with her laughter, smiles and curious little spirit.

The Bonnet is worked in the round, starting with a magic ring for the first few rounds, then is worked flat for the remainder of the Bonnet. The ribbing is attached at the end working back and forth between rows, then the ties are added once the ribbing is complete. All of this is done in a continuous manner, without the need of cutting the yarn and adding new.

Beginner friendly.
