Cherry Bobbler bonnet is a modern interpretation of classic British 1950s styling. There is a picot edging which gives stability to the brim and the sweetest cherry pattern to adorn your baby’s head.

The bonnet is started off flat and the main part containing the pattern is worked before being joined in the round. There are both charted and written instructions, together with video links for unfamiliar techniques.

The crown is shaped by decreases. Finally, an icord is worked and knitted onto the neck edge of the bonnet.

Each size is written out on a separate page to make it easier on the knitter.
