Why not try this quick, free knitting tutorial and make yourself a cute mini bonnet?

I have tried to keep this tutorial beginner friendly, with explanations and search terms.

This is a quick, free project perfect for using up leftover yarn or “stash busting!”

Aurora Mini Bonnet
You will need:

  • Fingering weight yarn (about 1/3 ball, I used Sadnes Garn Tynn Peer Gynt wool)
  • A silk mohair or equivalent fluffy yarn (about 1/3 ball, I used Knitting for Olive soft-silk mohair)
  • 3.5mm needles (25 stitch blocked guage per 10cm)
  • Tapestry needle + scissors

Inspired by the Damson Madder mini bonnets, I thought why not knit a more simple version?
