The Sarah Bonnet is a classic fitted baby bonnet worked in delicate lace with neat I-cord ties for a timeless finish. Knit in KnitPicks Mighty Stitch Fingering (affiliate link) on size 2 (3mm) straight needles and double-pointed needles, this design is lightweight, soft, and perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.

This bonnet uses the same lace stitch pattern as the Child Sarah Tee, Sarah Socks, and Sarah Beanie, making it a wonderful companion piece to complete the set. (All 3 of those patterns are linked in the blog post)

The pattern includes full instructions for creating a snug and comfortable fit, and the lace stitch blocks beautifully to show off its detail. Perfect for gift knitting, newborn photos, or heirloom keepsakes.
