This pattern is available from etsy.com for $3.99.

This gorgeous heirloom bonnet combines cables with a wonderful ruffle to beautifully frame baby’s precious face. Perfect for cool weather as there are no yarn overs or open spaces. This is an excellent choice to keep baby’s head & ears warm and cozy.
An excellent knit during the warm summer knits as it is small and easy to take along when traveling or enjoying time at the park.

The cable section of the pattern is given in chart form only (with chart symbols explained of course). Charts are really a fantastic way to work cables! If you can knit, purl, and work a basic cable - you’ll be just fine! The bonnet construction itself is not difficult at all.

Kellybean1 says, “This was my intro to cables from charts! It seemed daunting at the time but wasn’t bad at all!! Great pattern!”.
