Description
This bonnet is worked flat in a Garter stitch pattern with the Eyelet edge. The back is shaped with short rows and the piece is finished with a seam. The ties are worked as an I-cord, though other tie variations can be substituted. Includes patterns from 12 sts to 30 sts per 4” / 10 cm.
A Note on Gauge
To ensure a perfect fit with any yarn, this pattern is structured by gauge.
(Important Note: While the gauge swatch is worked in Stockinette Stitch for standardization, the main body of this bonnet is worked in Garter stitch. The pattern instructions, stitch counts, and measurements have been mathematically adjusted to create the correct size based on your Stockinette gauge swatch.)
