I have always loved bonnets. Unlike a traditional hat, bonnets have a sweet, romantic quality that everyone needs in their wardrobe, grown-ups included. Bonnets are a magical playground for self-striping yarn because the rows are short and easy to manage. The Everyday Magic Bonnet is divided into small, seamless sections that create horizontal lines on the sides of your bonnet, a surprising triangle on the back and a striped point to keep your forehead warm. Choose a graphic yarn with clearly defined stripes for this little bonnet, and it won’t be long before you have more than just a hat. You will have a dazzling rainbow bonnet that adds magic to your wardrobe every day of the week.
