Ostrich Plume Baby Bonnet

Craft a beautiful heirloom baby bonnet with this exquisite fingering-weight yarn pattern, featuring a luxurious blend of cashmere and extra fine merino. The delicate lace stitch adds an elegant touch, making this bonnet not only functional but also a stunning keepsake. The entire body of the bonnet is knitted as a single shaped piece with just two small seams for easy assembly, and a soft ribbing is picked up and knitted along the bottom edge for a snug fit.

Measurements: This pattern is designed to fit a newborn infant, making it the perfect gift for new parents or a charming addition to any baby wardrobe.

Yarn: For this lovely bonnet, we recommend using Jaeger Cashmina, a premium yarn composed of 80% cashmere and 20% extra fine merino. Each skein contains 0.9 oz (25 g) and 137 yds (125 m) of yarn in the serene 043 Sky colorway.

Needles: Use US 3 (3.25 mm) and US 2 (3 mm) straight needles, or choose a size that will help you achieve the correct gauge for this delicate pattern.

Other Supplies: Don’t forget to gather a tapestry needle for finishing, and 1 yard of 1/8" (3 mm) ribbon to add a sweet detail when securing the bonnet.

Note: This pattern results in a true newborn size, ideal for creating a treasured piece that can be passed down through generations.
