Whether you want to make a baby-soft, lightweight bonnet for a preemie or newborn, a vintage style, cotton and lace, christening bonnet, a chunky warm bonnet for cold winter days or a thick, luxurious bonnet fit for a princess, this pattern can do it all.

The simple base can be made from any yarn, in a variety of sizes from small newborn to 2 years of age.  Once the base is complete, you decide to decorate it how you like. Maybe a delicate picot edging or a stunning fluted trim?

By trimming in a contrasting colour, adding lace, swansdown, bows, beads or any other accessories you like, you can turn your bonnet into a truly individual item.

A full gallery of ideas is included so you can see exactly how each of the looks is achieved.

If you have your own specific idea in mind, the trims are fully illustrated to make it easy to pick and mix.
