I know there are a lot of popcorn patterns out there, but this bonnet is a little different as it starts out with an i-cord, which makes it look sharp and neat. It is a fast knit, just one piece, and what I love the most is that when you are done, there are only 2 ends to weave in. Most of the sizes only require one ball of yarn. Most people I have talked to say they would mostly wear popcorn patterns on their girls, but I have named it up after my little boy Aleksander, with the hope that you will see that it looks equally good on boys! Happy Knitting!
