Materials
100g dk / 8ply / light worsted acrylic yarn
4 mm hook I use this set from Amazon*
Needle
Scissors
Gauge Square
With 4mm hook
Row1 Ch10, hdc in 3rd ch from hook and each chain across. (8) Turn
Row2-4 ch1, hdc in base of ch1, hdc 7. (8) Turn
Square should measure just over 4.5cm.
If you're out with a 4mm hook try 4.5mm hook.
If you have problems hitting the length but the width is ok, try dc instead of hdc.
Using a 4mm hook
Row1 Chain 60, sc in the second chain from hook and each stitch across. (59) Turn
Row2 (in flo) ch1, sc in same and each stitch across. Turn
Row3 ch1, *ps, sk1, ps* repeat across. Turn
Row4 ch1, sc in base of ch1, sc across. Turn
Row5 (in blo) ch1, sc in base of ch1, sc across. Turn
Row6 ch1, hdc in base of ch1, hdc to end. Turn
Repeat row 6 until work measures 7 inches.
Fasten off with a long end for sewing.
Fold the rectangle in half and sew down the side opposite the puff stitches.
Join yarn to the left front and reverse sc (crab stitch) to the other side.
Making ties
Ch 46, sc in second chain from hook and each chain back up to bonnet, sc across the back of the bonnet to the other side and repeat the same chains, sc in second chain from hook and each chain back up to the bonnet and slst to the first.
Fasten off and sew in all the ends.
If you want to make plaited ties skip the chains above and continue to sc across the bottom of the bonnet, fasten off, cut 6 strands of yarn just more than twice the size you want the ties. Pull the 6 strands through the bonnet and separate into 3 lots of 4 and plait, tie and trim yarn. Repeat for the other side.
Finished Bonnet should measure Depth 7” Height 7.25”
That's it completed. I hope you enjoyed making my pattern!
