YARN: To create this cozy bonnet, you will need 2 (2, 2) skeins of Teddy Dear by Gepard Garn.

The sample bonnet is knit in colorway 101 and is in size 2 (12-18 months) for a cute reference.
NEEDLES: You will need a 6 mm circular needle with an 80 cm / 32” cable length (or an appropriate needle size to achieve your desired gauge). We recommend swatching to ensure you find the right needle size for your personal tension and yarn choice.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 10 stitches x 16 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in stockinette stitch worked flat on the larger needle after blocking. This will ensure your finished bonnet turns out the perfect size!
NOTIONS: To complete your Ovejita Bonnet project, make sure you have blocking tools, scissors, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, 3 stitch markers (2 removable), and a tape measure handy.
Knit this delightful Ovejita Bonnet/Balaclava for your child or as a heartfelt gift for a loved one. With its cozy design, soft yarn, and adorable details, this pattern is the perfect project for keeping little ones snug and stylish during chilly days!
