Royal Princess Baby Bonnet-Charlotte

Discover this charming bonnet inspired by the one worn by Princess Charlotte of Cambridge on her way home from the hospital. Notably, the original bonnet was placed on the baby with the cables positioned on top of her head instead of at the back. My unique hat design allows for versatility, enabling you to wear it both ways for a stylish look. For milder weather, I recommend crafting the bonnet in soft cotton, while for the cooler months, the softest wool will provide both comfort and warmth. If you're looking to create an extra special heirloom piece, consider using luxurious pure cashmere for that added touch of elegance.

This knitting pattern is tailored for advanced beginners, making it accessible for those who have some stitching experience. It comes in two sizes: a newborn size for a 13-14 inch head circumference and a 0-3 month size for a 15 inch head circumference. The pattern is detailed and written in American knitting terms, complete with metric conversions for international knitters. Whether you’re making this bonnet as a beautiful gift for a new arrival or as a special project for your own baby, it’s sure to be a cherished addition to any little one’s wardrobe.
