Stonewall Bonnet

This stylish knit hat pattern is deliberately crafted to be oversized, then expertly tailored to create a chic and comfortable fit using Jul Pedestal Buttons or alternative closures. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this pattern is perfect for showcasing your creativity and adding a unique accessory to your wardrobe.

For those warm-weather days, I'm currently working on this hat using a lighter, breathable yarn, making it not only fashionable but also practical. It’s a delightful choice for any season, and it’s especially perfect if you're contemplating a hairstyle change, like growing out your hair!

Please note: there’s an important errata for the crown decrease instructions. Be sure to follow these corrected details for a seamless finish:
