NOTES:
- Count your stitches! It’s easy to add stitches or forget a stitch
- The pattern is worked in joined rounds until Round 9 where it is worked in rows
- In the round, the first stitch goes at the base of the ch 2 (Crochet into base of chain)
- In the round, ch 2 does not count as a double crochet
- In the round, join the top of the 1st dc with a sl st
- Tokeeptrackoftherounds,eachroundshouldendwiththelastrepetition.Forexample
ifyouaredoing“2dcinthefirstst,1dcinthenext5”itshouldalwaysendwiththe5th
single dc.
- In the row, the turning ch 2 counts as a stitch
- In the row, you will place the first stitch in the 2nd stitch
- As a reminder! In the row, the last stitch is the 2nd stitch on the ch 2.
- I have written about different ties you can crochet to the bottom of the Bonnet

ow 9: From now on work in rows. After each row,turn your work (*4).
R
Ch 2, Place dc in the next 78 st. The first stitch is placed in the second st for all rows because the
ch 2 is acting as a stitch. Turn. We will be leaving a 2 stitch space (78 sts).
Row 10-13:Ch 2, Place dc in the next 78 st.
ow 14:
R
We will start to decrease the stitches on the bottom portion of the bonnet so that it will fit
closer to the chin. At this point the bottom of the bonnet lays under my back jaw bone (Approx
27cm length from top of bonnet). If for some reason your bonnet hits above the jaw bone you
can continue Row 10 until it reaches a longer length, and then proceed with Row 14. If you do
this you may not have to complete all the rows to 19. I like to try on my hat while I’m making it
to make sure it’s a perfect fit for me.

t this point, try on the bonnet if you feel like you need another row or need to stop. It
A
depends on how you would like it to fit and how far down the face you would like it to go.
This is where I stopped, but you can continue what you did from round 14-19.
I f you have any questions on getting the perfect fit or questions about the pattern. E-mail me
at [email protected]. I’d be happy to help!
lso this is the time where you want to choose the type of straps you would like on the
A
bonnet. I will go over two ways: a skinny strap or a thicker strap. I chose a thicker strap which
you will see in the photos
Skinny Strap:
h 48 (or more if you want longer straps), Sc into 2nd ch from hook to create a turn.
C
Sc into chains back towards the bottom of the bonnet (*7).
nce you reach the bonnet, we will be finishing off the raw edges with sc (*6). Ch 1, 2 Sc into
O
each dc along the raw edge.
nce you reach the end, Ch 48 (or how many you chained into the first strap), Sc into 2nd ch
O
from hook to create a turn. Sc into remaining chains towards the bottom of the bonnet and
fasten off.
Thick Strap:
e will start by finishing off the raw edge on the bottom of the bonnet.
W
Ch1, 2 Sc into each dc along the raw bottom edge of bonnet (*6). Fasten off.
S tarting on one side of the bottom corner of the bonnet.
Create a slip knot in the 4th st from the edge.
Row 1: Ch 2, dc into next 3 stitches. Turn (4 sts).
Repeat row 1 of the thick straps 42 more times or until desired length. Fasten off.
