Pattern Description
The Cotswold Bonnet is really easy and super quick to make. It’s cozy and thick because it uses Aran (number 4) yarn. The bonnet is made from a flat rectangle and then the back is sewn together. Next, a sc ribbing is added around the bottom and front of the bonnet. Lastly, two straps are stitched to either side. This bonnet will only take you a few hours to make.
