**Sizes Available:** The pattern comes in multiple sizes to fit a range of ages: 0 - 3 months, 6 - 9 months, 1 - 2 years, and 3 - 4 years. The pink bonnet in the pictures is sized for 6 - 9 months and modeled by a cute 7-month-old, while the violet version is sized for 3 - 4 years and worn by a nearly 4-year-old. This makes it an ideal project for those looking to knit adorable, age-appropriate accessories.

**Needles Required:** For this project, you will need a circular needle in two sizes: 3 mm (US 2.5) and 4 mm (US 6), or alternatively, choose a needle size that will help you achieve the necessary gauge specified in the pattern.

**Gauge Details:** Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rows within a 10 x 10 cm (4” x 4”) area when working in stockinette stitch using the larger needle size, ensuring a perfect fit for your finished bonnet.

**Yarn Information:** You will need just 1 skein of Drops Merino Extra Fine (50g/105m), which is 100% Wool, in color A, along with 1 skein in color B for all sizes. This luxurious yarn is gentle against the skin, making it an excellent choice for children’s wear.

**Alternative Yarn Options:** If you're looking for a substitute, consider using Lang Yarns Merino 120—just 2 skeins in different colors will suffice for this adorable bonnet.

**Additional Supplies:** Don’t forget to have a tapestry needle on hand for weaving in ends and finishing your project to perfection.

This knitted bonnet not only makes a thoughtful gift but also serves as a charming accessory for every little girl. Get ready to add a touch of handmade elegance to your child's outfit with this easy-to-follow pattern!
