This pattern is available from loveknitpatterns.etsy.com for $3.00.

A modern baby bonnet made to be worn, not just photographed —
soft, warm, and comfortable from the very first days. Long
i-cord ties fasten securely, so it stays put during walks, naps
and everyday wear.

Particular attention goes to the finishing: the pattern shows
how to work both the i-cord ties and the decorative i-cord edge,
which is what makes the finished bonnet look neat rather than
homemade.
