This beautiful crocheted bonnet was inspired by and modeled after the knitted bonnet worn by HRH Princess Charlotte of Cambridge in her public debut, May 3, 2015. (Pattern also coordinates with the HRH Baby Blanket pattern.)

Design features a “horseshoe-style” double cabled band that runs around the top of the bonnet and looks like a little crown (the same as the way Princess Charlotte of Cambridge wore the knitted bonnet in her debut.)

Pattern includes instructions for sizes newborn up to 12-24 mos. Sample was crocheted using a super soft and stretchy fingering weight alpaca yarn, which is ideal for baby photo shoots.

Stitches used include - ch, sl st, sc, bpsc, fpsc, dc

Skill level: Easy/Intermediate

Pattern is written in standard American terms.
