This is a pdf downloadable knitting pattern, written in English and using standard US terminology, for you to knit a Classic Baby Bonnet in sizes preemie to one year + 18” doll.

This easy, knit flat, baby bonnet knitting pattern is beginner friendly as it is knit flat and then seamed.

You will need to know how to cast on, how to work the knit stitch and the purl stitch, and how to knit two together.

You will need worsted weight yarn and 5mm (US8) needles (yardage for each size is included in the pattern)

This bonnet would make a lovely addition to your photography prop stash (it’s an absolute staple), as a gift to a new photographer friend, or new mom.

As well, this bonnet would make a wonderful wardrobe addition for your favourite 18” doll.

Lily B’s is not affiliated in any way with the American Girl, Our Generation, or Journey Girl doll brands. I have each of these dolls in my own personal collection and love knitting doll clothes for them.

My gauge: 18 sts and 24 rows = 10 x 10 cms.
