An alternative to a traditional winter beanie, Lillabon is a fun bonnet that knits up quickly in bulky yarn. It has a slightly slouchy fit, which is perfect for sitting gently atop a low ponytail or bun.

Lillabon begins with a garter brim, worked flat. It then moves into an inverted “V” pattern, which is worked flat at first, and then joined in the round towards the crown. The hat is finished off with I-cord ties and furry pompoms. Lillabon looks great inside-out too, making it a reversible accessory!
