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.
