I created this bonnet with Newborns and Waldorf Dolls in mind, but this little piece of clothing makes a cute addition to any newborn and/or doll closet.
With this purchase, you will receive the knitting pattern, not the finished product.

Materials needed:
I doubled lace weight yarn 260 yards per 50g, (single 260 yards per 25g) 1 ball of 25g is barely enough (the finished romper weighs in at exactly 25g), but you will have to knit from both sides (careful this could cause knots) I would recommend getting 2 balls of yarn, 72% super kid mohair, 28% silk, gauge: 5 stitches x 7 rows = 1” x1” (wispy)
Worsted yarn, 137 yards per 50 g, gauge: 5 stitches x 7 rows = 1”x1”(warm)
Notions:
darning needle, circular needles size 4 (3.5mm)
Size:
Newborn - 8 weeks
