A sweet and simple knit feather and fan bonnet pattern with soft details and timeless charm.

The Ocean Bonnet is knit flat and features a gentle feather and fan-inspired edging, a dainty picot hem, and i-cord ties to keep it snug on little heads. This pattern includes sizes for newborns through toddler/child, making it a perfect go-to gift or photo prop for years to come.

Worked in sport-weight yarn, the texture really shines—especially when using a softly heathered yarn like KnitPicks Heatherly Sport (affiliate link). And if you love matching sets, this bonnet was designed to coordinate with the Child Ocean Skirt for an extra adorable outfit pairing.

Whether you’re knitting for your own little one or creating a handmade gift, the Ocean Bonnet is a charming and relaxing project with just enough lace detail to keep things interesting.
