Little Red Riding Bonnet
Introducing a delightful slouchy bonnet, expertly knitted in the round and crafted as a seamless piece from the bottom up. This captivating pattern begins with a classic cast-on, followed by an elegant 1x1 rib for the brim, before transitioning into a beautiful lace body that adds a touch of whimsy. After completing the lace section, you’ll follow clear instructions for crown shaping, culminating in a polished I-cord finish that enhances the overall aesthetic of the bonnet.
Our exclusive instructions for this unique bonnet are thoughtfully provided in a written format only, making it easy to follow along and create your very own masterpiece at home.
The design inspiration for this charming bonnet comes from the iconic hat worn by Ruby in the beloved TV series, Once Upon a Time. Red/Ruby was always my favorite character, and I fell in love with her stunning hat the moment I first saw it. While this bonnet may not be as slouchy as Ruby's signature style, it offers a more fitted design that features intricate crown shaping, ensuring a flattering fit for all.
I’ve chosen to call this creation a bonnet rather than a beret in honor of my hometown of Stewarton, which is renowned for its rich tradition of bonnet-making. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just beginning your crafting journey, this stylish slouchy bonnet is a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Embrace your creativity and channel the spirit of Ruby with this wonderful knitting project!
Unlock your knitting potential with our comprehensive pattern, and enjoy the satisfaction of crafting a beautiful accessory that pays homage to a beloved character and the timeless art of bonnet-making.
