This Ruffled Baby Bonnet Pattern is a charming mix of knitting and crochet, designed to create a timeless heirloom for little ones.
The bonnet body is knit flat in seed stitch with simple crown shaping, while the edge is finished with a crocheted Shell Puff Scallop ruffle for a beautiful vintage-style frill. A final row of single crochet around the neckline gives the bonnet a neat finish and a better fit around the head.
Knitted ties complete the design, making this bonnet both practical and picture-perfect.
