Girly Baby Bonnet Free Pattern

Free Pattern updated... Girly Knit Baby Bonnet This is a new pattern so please let me know if you find any bugs in it, although I think/hope it is quite easy to follow! Size: 0-6 months Yarn: Worsted weight Needles: Size 5 U.S.-you need a flexible cable 16 , 20 or 24 inch circular needle for this project Ribbon: ¼ inch grosgrain about ½ yards Cast on 14 stitches. Row 1-16: Knit Row 17 and 18: Knit 1, ssk, knit to last 3 sts., k2tog, k1 B/O all stitches. Look for the tail where you started the cast on of the first 14 stitches. Start at this point and pick up stitches around the edge of the piece (approximately 38 sts.) leaving the first 14 original stitches unworked. (These 14 stitches are the base of the neck at the back of the bonnet-don’t pick up sts. on these stitches.) You are NOT working in the round-you are working back and forth in rows. The stitches will be a bit snug on the needle don’t worry about that. Begin working ruffled brim of bonnet. Rows 1&2: knit Row 3 : *K1, yo, k1* repeat from * to end (eyelet row) Rows 4-8: knit Row 9: repeat eyelet row 3 Rows 10-14: knit Row 15: *K1, yo, k2tog* repeat from * to end Rows 16-20: knit Bind off.

Girly Baby Items for New Grand Daughter On The Way

I will be posting the Girly Bonnet as a free pattern here on this site soon!

Wildflower Jacket/Shawl

I loved knitting this pattern. It is a modular knit done in triangles. The pattern offers a short and a long version. The designer is Margaret Fisher. I selected a yarn with a gradual color change to accentuate the directional changes in the design.

Baby Hoodie With Back Zipper

This is the 2nd version of this hoodie with back zipper for baby...and a cute little hat! I highly recommend this pattern which is free download on Ravelry.

baby things!

I am making baby sweaters in different sizes and different colors. This bright red one is the first to be completed. I love this pattern which has a zipper up the back that makes it easy to put on the baby.

I am am going to be a Grandma again!

My daughter April and David are expecting again. I am very happy for them and for us! And...of course, it is another reason to knit!

Ruffled Shawl

This is a fun pattern. I have made two adult sizes. I am currently working on a down-sized version for my grand daughter...in PINK of course lol..
