This listing is for the Shelby Bonnet PATTERN ONLY. Please check the shop for ready to ship bonnets.

The Shelby has a rounded back giving it a lovely vintage look. The scalloped front sweetly frames tiny faces and is perfect for keeping babies cozy. Bonnets often stay on baby heads better than a typical beanie, so we love them!

Pattern is written in US terms.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Materials:

• tapestry needle
• scissors

Knowledge and comfort with the following stitches is recommended. I do not include detailed instructions for completing individual stitches, but there are numerous videos on You Tube that are great resources for this information should you need it. I’m happy to recommend a few should you need them! You can also email me with any other questions you might have.
