Add a touch of vintage charm to baby’s wardrobe with the Victorian Bow Bonnet Cap, a sweet crochet bonnet with delicate details and an irresistibly cozy finish. Featuring a ruffled edge, decorative bow, and tie cord, this classic-inspired design makes a beautiful accessory for everyday wear, photos, or a thoughtful handmade baby gift.

The pattern includes instructions for two sizes: 0–6 months and 6–12 months and uses KnitPal Chenillique weight #4 yarn with a 4 mm crochet hook. The soft chenille texture gives the bonnet a plush, cuddly feel while highlighting its pretty stitchwork. The bonnet is crocheted from the crown outward before transitioning into rows to create its classic shape. A full ruffled border adds a feminine finishing touch, while a crocheted bow and double-chain cord complete the vintage-inspired look. Whether you’re making it for a new arrival, baby shower, or special keepsake, the Victorian Bow Bonnet Cap is a charming project made for tiny heads and memorable moments.
