Eric Hat Bonnet & Mittens

If you're looking for a versatile and stylish knitting pattern, this set including a slouchy hat, a charming bonnet, and generously sized mittens is a perfect choice for all ages! The hat is skillfully crafted in one piece, knitted in the round with either circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs). The top of the hat is finished off with neat decreases, allowing you to thread the remaining stitches through and secure them for a polished look. Designed for a comfortable and slouchy fit, this hat pattern is available in six sizes: 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-4 years, 4-8 years, 8-12 years, and small adult.

The matching bonnet is created in one continuous piece, worked back and forth until the back section is joined in the round. A series of decreases shapes the back of the bonnet, resulting in a lovely fit. This pattern offers three sizes: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, and 1-2 years, making it a delightful accessory for your little ones.

For added warmth and comfort, the mittens are designed to be knit flat, worked back and forth, and seamed along one edge. These one-piece mittens are generously sized to allow for easy movement of the hands, perfect for play or everyday wear. Sizes for the mittens range from 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-4 years, 4-8 years, 8-12 years, and even small adult sizes.

Needles required for this project: Circular needles in 4.00mm (US 6) and 4.50mm (US 7), along with DPNs in the same sizes to close the top of the hat and the back of the bonnet. For the mittens, you can comfortably use straight needles, making this project accessible for knitters of all skill levels.

For those interested in expanding their knitwear collection, the pattern for the matching Eric cardigan is also available separately. Whether you're knitting for a special occasion or simply to keep warm, this charming hat, bonnet, and mitten set is sure to become a beloved staple in any wardrobe.
