Rhombus bonnet is perfect for autumn and winter. Knitted in merino wool, it keeps your little one nice and warm.

The rhombus pattern is created by alternating knit and purl stitches.

Rhombus bonnet is knitted flat, on either straight or circular needles. For the back shaping you have to option to knit flat or in the round. If the size you need is on the end of the size spectrum: choose the larger size, that way the bonnet can be used longer!
Size newborn will only fit a newborn baby in the first weeks, but was added by request.
