Mae Bonnet

Discover the charm of these adorable baby bonnets, a simple and quick knitting project that you can create in no time! Designed to be worked all in one piece, these bonnets require minimal finishing—just two ends to weave in. This delightful pattern includes detailed directions for both a classic plain Stockinette stitch bonnet and a beautiful version adorned with flowers, catering to your unique taste. With six sizes available—three specifically for DK weight yarn and three for worsted weight yarn—these bonnets make the perfect shower gifts and stunning photo props. Plus, it's a wonderful way to utilize those partial skeins lingering in your stash!

For our sample bonnets, we used Anzula Cricket (DK weight), but feel free to explore other suggested yarns listed below for your projects. The beauty of this bonnet lies in its seamless construction; each tie is crafted using short rows and then bound off, leaving the body stitches in between intact. Both the flower-pattern version and the plain Stockinette version share identical ties and crowns, ensuring your project is as effortless as it is charming. Whether you’re working with DK or worsted weight yarn, the instructions remain the same, although the finished measurements will vary based on your chosen yarn weight.

This baby bonnet pattern is not just a project; it’s a fantastic way to create thoughtful gifts that new parents will cherish. Knit with love and warmth, these bonnets are sure to become treasured keepsakes.
