Pattern Notes This pattern makes a bonnet that will fit a 3 to 6 month old baby. Chain 3 at beginning of rows counts as 1st hdc plus chain 1

Pattern is worked in joined rounds for first 4 rounds, it is worked in rows after this point

Flat Circle Measurement at end of round 4 is 3.5 inches.

You can make this a solid color or make it striped like mine. I made my color changes on rows, 6, 9 , 12, 13 & 14.

To begin:

Mr, (if you don’t know the magic ring method you can chain 3, 12 hdc in 3rd ch from hook) ch 2, 12 hdc in ring, join with ss, ch 2

Rnd 2 - 2 hdc in each st around (24 hdc). Join with ss, ch 2

Rnd 3 - 2 hdc in same st as join, *hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around. (36 hdc) Join, ch 2

Rnd 4 - 2 hdc in same st as join, *hdc in next 2 st, 2 hdc in next st, repeat from * around.

Do not join. (48 hdc)

Row 1 - ch 3 turn, hdc in base of turning chain, * skip 1 st, hdc v st in next st, repeat from * 19 times. (20 v sts, 1 hdc, 1 turning chain)

Row 2 - ch 3 turn, hdc in v st of previous row, v st 20 times

Rows 3 - 14 - Repeat row 2. Do not fasten off

Edging - sc in last st of row 14, ch 30, ss back up chain, sc in same stitch and in ends of rows and rounds across bottom of bonnet to next corner space. Sc in corner, ch 30, ss back up chain, make sc in same corner space, fasten off, weave in ends.

I am just finishing a baby afghan and this pattern will be made to go with it. Like you I love to crochet, garden, and animals. I have a tote I am filling up with afghans and hats to match just in case I am gone to glory when my 9 great grand kids have babies. I want them to remember me with new afghans from Granny. Thanks for the pattern am always looking for new ones. Donna

i love how your bonnet looks and would like to make one also but I'm confused about the 1st row. I can't do the MR so I only do what's in the parentheses? Thanks

Danae, yes, to start, ch 3, make 12 in 3rd chain from hook. Thank you for bringing the no chain 2 to my attention. At the end of each round, join with ss and ch 2.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, I was out yesterday at family gatherings. Thank you for your lovely compliments on the pattern. Please feel free to post a pic of your creations on my facebook page.

Also I notice round 1and 2 doesn't have ch 2 at the end but the other rounds do. So am I supposed to ch 2 at the end of round 1 & 2?

I got lost in Row 2. (Row 2 - ch 3 turn, hdc in v st of previous row, v st 20 times). I am just ending up with a flat circle. When does it curve in around the head. I read Row 2 as ch 3, hdc in v st of previous row - is that the last of the 20 hdc from previous row? On row 3 I am not getting 20 v st. What does the ch 2, hdc end up being at the beginning of each row? Sorry I am just confused.

Bonne Jensen ~

I have sent you and email explaining. You should have 8 hdc left without v stitches in them when you turn on row 1,

row 2 you are going to make v stitches in the ch 1 sp between ea v stitch on row 1. I hope this helps.

I appreciate this bonnet pattern very much. It is just what I was looking for as I had envisioned it but couldn't come up with measurements, ie. # of stitches, # of inches, starting point... many questions but no one to ask. Thank you again, and again, and again!
