Gwylan Bonnet

Bonnets often get a bad rap because many people associate them with babies, plain dorkiness, or traditional attire like that worn by the Amish. However, I believe bonnets truly deserve a chance to shine as a stylish accessory. A well-made bonnet can simply plunk onto your head, providing a comfortable fit that never rides up in the back, making it perfect for activities like biking. Plus, there's the exciting possibility of adding three (yes, three!) delightful pompoms for a fun touch. If pompoms aren't quite your style, feel free to create your own unique version without them!

This charming knitting pattern is designed for one size, measuring 17.5 inches from ear to ear and 10 inches from the front edge to the hat apex. It’s an ideal project for knitters of all levels, whether you're crafting for yourself or making a thoughtful gift. Embrace the often-overlooked allure of bonnets and let your creativity flourish with this delightful pattern!
