This pattern is available from loveknitpatterns.etsy.com for $4.00.

A baby bonnet for the feeling of “I can do this” — made for
knitters who are still learning, or who just want a calm project
that won’t fight back.

No complicated construction, no unclear shaping, no guessing
where to increase or decrease. The ribbed stitch pattern is easy
to memorise, and the finish is seamless.

Everything is explained step by step, so you can enjoy the
knitting rather than decode it.
