This little cap matches the Easter Egg Sweater. It takes only a few hours to knit. I used the left over wool from the sweaters to knit the bonnets and had just enough to finish. If you knit to gauge on the NB size you will have just barely enough to make both the sweater and bonnet, You will have more than enough for sweater and bonnet in the 6 month size. All three sizes have been tested. I hope you enjoy it.

There are two different options to finish the back. One is simply lacing up the back with a ribbon, the other is worked by twisting the I-cord together as you are casting off. There is a photo tutorial in the PDF to show how this is done.
