This sweet little bonnet is the 4ply version of my popular Picot Bonnet. It features an easy picot edging and a simple double lace rib pattern. The perfect knit for a last-minute present, all sizes use less than 50gm of 4ply of yarn.

Full written instructions for each step are included.

Construction
Cast on and work flat before folding the picot edge over then continuing to work the body of the bonnet flat. The crown decreases are written for in the round but also include instructions for converting to flat knitting. The i-cord ties are worked as an applied i-cord edge on the underside of the bonnet.
