XY 09 21 bonnet
ABOUT
While working on the T 13 03 hat, I already thought about adding a bonnet to complete the family collection. In that moment, one of my oldest friends called, telling me she is pregnant again and the new baby is due in September!
So, it became a done deal and this bonnet got a name, too…
CONSTRUCTION
The bonnet is first worked flat for the body. Afterward, you join in the round to decrease the crown. The finishing task is to add the ties using the i-cord technique.

YARN
Como from Lamana is a superfine merino yarn. I believe it is sport weight, but the yarn company comes from my home country – Germany, and here we don’t use yarn weights as a category. Unfortunately, that leads to indistinct translations.
In this case I believe you can knit the hat either with a fingering or a sport weight. DK would probably work too, if you change the needle size. As long as you hit gauge you are good to go.
Generally, the best fiber for this item is wool as you need elasticity and a soft touch.
SKILL LEVEL
Generally, my patterns are written for adventurous beginner and seasoned comfort-seeking knitters.
As an adventurous beginner knitter, you get to learn several new skills on a small fun project. Starting first flat and then in the round gives you a nice mix, you knit the classic decreases with the challenge to continue working in pattern as set, and finish up with i-cord ties, nuff said – you get to amp up your game with in little time.
There are interactive video links to all these techniques, so help is always just one click away!
Please believe me, I have been in your shoes not that long ago and I do remember those first stitches. Whenever I write my patterns, you are on my mind and I give my very best to hold your hands and guide you all the way to the finishing round.
For seasoned comfort-seeking knitters this is an easy fun quick knit that won’t bore you – promised! There are some details you might not know yet. I know lots of my advanced test knitters signed up because they wanted to try i-cord ties. How about you?
As a long-time knitter, you know the difference between a pattern that has been tech edited and test knitted – and one that hasn’t. As you like to knit from quality patterns, please let me assure you that this one has gone through both thoroughly.
I might not have your years of experience, but I am totally obsessed with knitting. I know, that after reaching a certain level, you want to be able to skip several parts of a pattern and get straight to the cast-on. That’s why I keep the instructions always separated from everything else and make sure they are easy to read and can be printed in black & white. Sounds good, right!?
This bonnet is part of the Sci-Fi Fam collection, which is made for all ages and genders. There are now several hats, a shawlette, a cowl and mittens. I might add some more… Please have a look at the other designs, too.
