Perfect for baby pictures and also a warm little hat for cool weather wear, and it knits up quickly.

Instructions are given for knitting the bonnet in 6 sizes:
Average Newborn
Larger Newborn to 3 months
3 to 6 months
6 to 12 months
Toddler
Child

I specialize in clear, thorough instructions, and coaching is included! If you get stuck, I can usually send you a link to a good online video.

This is a back and forth project, and cables are really not that hard.

There are two versions for the brim: knitted on in the same color as the rest of the hat (easier), and by picking up stitches. Notice the different brim details in the photos.

Also notice the several ways to do the ties: left loose, braided, or with curlicues.
