The perfect gift for a spring baby, this little bonnet features head hugging construction. The back section is worked first in single crochet. Then, the body is worked in crossed double crochet stitches followed by the ruffle. Finally, the ties are added and a finishing row of single crochet along the bottom edge after sewing the back seams down. American crochet terminology.
