I was asked by a friend to design a quick and simple baby bonnet to go with some cute sweaters she was making for newborns. This sweet little bonnet is what I came up with! It is sized for 0-3 mos ONLY, and uses sport weight yarn, but could easily be upsized with larger hooks and heavier yarn. Follow me for the pattern~ |
