Today's post is on an adorable little newborn Bonnet. My dear friend had a baby girl so I wanted to knit a cute little bonnet for her. I used Hobby Lobby's I Love this Cotton yarn. This is one of my favorite (and more affordable) cotton yarn.

place the first slipped stitch back on the left hand needle.

You should now have 36 sts (12 on each dpn). Use your 4th dpn to knit with.

For each needle: k all sts until last 2 sts and then k2tog. See instructions below:

Round 1: k10, k2tog on every dpn around

Round 2: k9, k2tog on every dpn around

Round 8: k3, k2tog on every dpn around

Round 9: k2, k2tog on every dpn around

Round 10: k1, k2tog on every dpn around

Using a tapestry needle, insert through remaining sts as if to knit & cinch up. Weave in ends.

Ties

Using your crochet hook, Fasten on the corner of the bonnet.

Chain 40 sts or as long as you'd like. slip stitch into 2nd chain from your hook and back across. sl st into the bonnet (where you started).

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Repeat for other side.
