This little bonnet is so sweet. It’s worked back and forth with bulky yarn and finished with crochet ties. It is perfect for the beginner wanting to branch out and try a couple of new techniques. With minimal decreasing and no knitting in the round, you’ll love how quick this works up.

This bonnet is intended for use as a photography prop.
