Indira Bonnet is the cutest, most adorable little bonnet made with love from me to you and your tiny little loved ones. My kids are too big to wear it, but my inner grandma convinced me that other small kids should have the chance to wear it. So here you go!

Indira Bonnet is cast on with Judy’s Magic Cast-On and worked from the edge of the face and back towards the back of the head. The front part is worked back and forth in broken rib, while the back part of the bonnet is knitted in the round. Finally, it is finished off with the prettiest crocheted scalloped edge all the way around.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited by Kimberly Wilkerson, and has been test knitted by a large number of test knitters around the world.
