This gorgeous, textured bonnet features a beautiful stitch pattern that is sure to keep baby’s head warm in style. The main section of the bonnet is worked flat before joining in the round to work the crown shaping. The simple, easy to memorise pattern is worked over multiples of 4 stitches across 8 row repeats, and the bonnet is finished with crochet ties. This delightful bonnet makes a quick knit and is the perfect gift for a new baby, or to add to any child’s wardrobe.
