Fall is fast approaching and I wanted to design a simple & easy pattern that you can whip up in less than an hour!
I have a Chunky Charlie Bonnet made from the bottom up (brim first) but this bonnet is worked from top down (starting at the crown).
This free pattern is for the PreK size (Age 2-4). Please visit my shops to purchase the pdf pattern which includes the Toddler, PreK, Child & Adult sizes.
Supplies:
Super Chunky Yarn | I used Lion Brand Hometown USA's Springfield Silver | 2 Skeins, 128 Yards
9mm Crochet hook
Scissors
Yarn Needle
Extra Large Pom Pom maker | I used Clover Brand
ABBREVIATIONS
ch – Chain
st(s) – Stitch(es)
sl st – Slip Stitch

Pattern Notes: The beginning chain 2 does not count as a stitch. The first stitch is worked into the same stitch as the chain stitch.

You will now work in rows back & forth.

Row 2: ch2 & turn, 1dc into each st across.
Row 3: ch2 & turn, 1dc into each st across.
Do not fasten off.

Adjust length of tassels by chaining more or less sts.

Sc along the back of the bonnet to the other corner of the brim.

Cut 8 strands of yarn approx. 10” each. Using 4 strands for each side, attach 4 strands to each end & pull half way (5”). Run ends through loop and pull tight. Trim both ends so they’re even.
Make an extra large Pom Pom or any desired size and attach to beanie. Watch my Pom Pom Tutorial here.
