Lace Knit Baby Bonnet - Free pattern

Next up for Hat Week – the Knitted Baby Bonnet, complete with instructions this time! The new design is modified so that the back section fits better – when I made this for my niece I had to gather the bottom back edge so it wouldn’t gape on her neck.

Finishing:

Block your bonnet. Fold so to bring sides A together and B together. Sew these seams. Use the eyelet holes formed in the picot edging to thread a ribbon through (mine was 36” long). If desired, add 3 rolled ribbon rosettes, such as these, for embellishment.
