Cosy Cable Bonnet
This adorable and cosy bonnet is crafted using DK weight yarn, making it an ideal choice for quick and enjoyable knitting projects. Designed to be worked primarily in stockinette stitch, this pattern features a charming i-cord edge and ties for a snug fit, along with a basic cable front that adds a touch of elegance. The bonnet is stretchy enough to accommodate a range of sizes while still providing a snug and comfortable fit. Perfect for last-minute homemade gifts, this bonnet knits up quickly, making it an excellent last-minute present for a baby shower or holiday celebration.
SIZES AVAILABLE:
The pattern comes in a variety of sizes to fit everyone from Tiny Baby to Newborn, Baby, Toddler, Child, and Adult, ensuring that every member of the family can enjoy this stylish accessory.
MATERIALS REQUIRED:
- DK weight yarn (50-190 metres depending on size)
- 4mm circular needles
- Optional: 4mm Double Pointed Needles (DPNs)
- Cable needle
- Stitch marker and darning needle
For this project, I recommend using DROPS Cotton Merino, as the merino and cotton blend provides a beautifully soft finish for baby wear, along with the desirable stretch that keeps the bonnet comfortable throughout wear. However, you can use any yarn with wool as its main fiber to achieve similar results.
GAUGE:
The gauge for this pattern is 22 stitches x 30 rows, measuring 10x10cm or 4x4 inches in stockinette stitch. If your gauge does not match, consider adjusting your needle size to ensure the perfect fit and finish for your bonnet.
