This pattern is broken into steps, with lots of options along the way. By my calculations, there are 192 possible combinations, so you can make dozens of hats without ever making 2 that are exactly alike. These classic baby bonnets are wonderful because they stay on and keep ears and cheeks warm. Note: In some of the photos, little Ellie has her hat on upside down and backwards!
