this baby bonnet using a lion brand
comfy cotton yarn it's a light number 3
yarn I'll leave a link down here in the
information box for you to see the yarn
that I'm using now I already cast on my

on your stitches I already have a
tutorial on how to do it using a crochet
hook so I'll leave a link down here in
the information box as well ok so to
begin in this first row what we're going
to do is we're going to knit 2 purl 2
knit 2 purl 2 all the way to the end so
here to begin we're going to knit the
first two stitches now this first row is
a little hard but with patience we'll
get through it
so the first stitch is knit the second
stitch is going to be knit as well now
the third and the fourth stitch we're
going to purl
and then the next two we're going to
knit
like this then the next to pearl this is
all I'm going to do for this first row
knit two purl two knit two purl two
okay so continue like this for this
first row I'll meet you at the end of
this row to show you what we need to do
next okay I'm here at the end of this
first row I still have two more stitches
so these last two here were pearl now in
it to any to knit to these last two okay
and this is how I finished the first row
now for the second row we're going to
turn and here we're going to do the
exact same thing so my last two stitches
in the first row here were to knit now
in this rope we need to purl so bring
the yeren in front purl the first stitch
purl the second stitch and knit the next
two
purl the next two and so on this is how
we're going to continue with the second
row knit two purl two
okay so continue like this for this
second row I'll meet you at the end of
the second row to show you what we need
to do next okay I'm here at the end of
the second row my last two stitches here
were two knits so I need to purl these
last two stitches and this is how I
finished the second row now we're going
to do two more rows so turn your like
this and here we're going to do and this
row we're going to knit now because my
last two here at the end were two pearls
so now here at the beginning I need to
knit these two stitches one two and then
two pearls and then tune it's okay so
continue like this for this third row
I'll meet you at the end to show you
what we need to do next okay I finished
the third row now we're going to turn
here the last two stitches here were to
knit so now here in this row we're going
to purl two at the beginning of the
fourth row so purl two and then knit two
purl two knit two continue like this to
the end of this row I'll meet you there
to show you what we need to do next okay
I'm here at the end of the fourth row my
last two stitches here at the end were
two purl so now we're going to turn
again and here in this last row row five
we're going to knit two and then purl
two knit two then purl two this is all
we're going to do for this fifth row so
continuing like this I'll meet you at
the end to show you what we need to do
next okay I'm here at the end of this
fifth row now we're going to turn in
this row what we're going to do is we're
going to knit each one of these stitches
so beginning here this first one we're
going to knit the first stitch then knit
the next stitch knit the next stitch
knit the next stitch now if you notice
that these two stitches that follow are
the purl stitches so rather than going
through the back loop go through the
front two loop and knit this stitch like
this and we have the two knit stitches
you're going to knit so in this row this
is all we're going to do we're going to
knit each one of these stitches continue
like this for this first row I'll meet
you at the end to show you what we need
to do next okay I'm here at the end of
this first row where we knit each one of
the stitches now we're going to turn
here and here we're going to do the same
thing now the first stitch we're going
to knit through the back loop and a knit
each one of these stitches through the
front loop see like this they're all
lined up in the same direction
okay this is all we're going to do for
the second row we're going to knit each
one of these stitches continue like this
and I'll meet you at the end to show you
what we need to do next okay I'm here at
the end of the second row now we're
going to turn and from here on this is
all we're going to do we're just going
to knit each one of these stitches and
the first one I like to knit through the
back loop like this and then the rest
through the front loop like this we're
going to knit every single stitch for
every single row from here on now I'm
not exactly sure how many rows I'm going
to do but if you notice there's a little
bump here see that tells me that this is
two rows here so every time you see the
little bump it means that that would be
two rows there so we would count the
little bumps until we come to the number
of rows that I'm going to do so continue
like this just repeating the same row
knitting every single stitch all the way
to the end turn and a knit every single
stitch all the way to the end so I'll
meet you at the end of this row to show
you what we need to do next okay I
finished making 30 rows so in total I
have let's see 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20
22 24 26 28 30 rows and it measures
let's see this is about almost 11
centimeters which is almost let's see
almost four and a half inches not quite
there but almost okay so now here what
we're going to do is I've put two stitch
markers whatever number of stitches that
you have here we are going to divide
that by three I happen to have 66 which
is divisible by three so I have 22 on
this side 22 for the Center and 22
stitches for the other side so here in
this row we're going to begin to reduce
the sides the center we're always going
to keep the 22 stitches
and this side also as well so we're
going to begin reducing and we're going
to start counting rows so here to begin
here in this first row we're going to
knit 22 it's 1
to
three four five six seven eight nine ten
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 now
I'm going to pass the stitch marker to
the needle here on the side and here I'm
going to knit again 22 we're going to do
our first Rhian after we make these 22
stitches here so we're going to knit 22
again so that's 1 2 3 4 5
six
seven eight nine
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 I'm
actually only going to knit 21 here's
why this last stitch for the center with
the first stitch for one of the sides
we're going to do the following we're
going to skip this stitch like this so I
have 22 remove the stitch marker knit
the next stitch and the stitch that we
slipped pass it over the stitch that I
just knit like this now I have 2 4 6 8
10 12 14 16 18 20 21 stitches on this
needle now we're going to turn
like this
I'm gonna get my yarn now I'm not going
to put the stitch marker again because
it's going to be easier here now with
the yarn in the front slip the first
stitch and now here we're going to knit
20 so the yarn is in the back so now
we're going to knit 20 that's one two
three four
five six seven
eight
9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 okay
I have knit 20 stitches and this stitch
with the first stitch here on this side
now we're going to I'm going to for the
purpose of removing this I'm going to
remove the stitch marker and I'm going
to put this back so I have 20 stitches
plus the one that we slipped here at the
beginning we have we should have 21 so
that's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 but we only knit 20
of those stitches this one here we
slipped now here we're going to purl two
together see like this so now I should
always have 22 stitches here in the
center and now in this needle I'm going
to have 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 21 now
we're going to turn this here was row 2
so we're going to turn for Row 3 for Row
3 with the yarn in the back we're going
to slip the first stitch so here's the
first stitch out of the 22 that we're
going to have but we're only going to
knit 20 so there's 1 2
three four five six seven eight nine 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 now we're going to slip this
next stitch knit the next stitch pass
the stitch that we slipped over the
stitch that we just needed like this
okay and now I have two four six eight
ten twelve fourteen sixteen eighteen
twenty stitches on this needle we're
going to turn now this is going to be
your fourth row remember we slip the
first stitch with the yarn in front slip
the first put the yarn behind and knit
twenty one two three four five six seven
eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen
fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen
eighteen nineteen twenty now here we're
going to purl two together so bring the
yarn in front put your needle behind and
purl these two together and now I have
in this needle two four six eight ten
twelve fourteen sixteen eighteen twenty
turn so for the fifth row here we're
going to do this until we have one
stitch here left on this needle and one
stitch here on this needle in the center
we're always going to have 22 stitches
okay so now here for the fifth row with
the yarn behind slip the first stitch
and knit twenty it's one two three four
five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 now we're going to

stitch that I just knitted and now I
have 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 19 stitches
on this needle turn four rows six and
this is all you're going to continue
doing so let me show you again the first

put the yarn behind and knit 20 one two
three four
five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 now this piece next to
we're going to Pearl together so bring
the yarn in front purl two together like
this this is how we finish the sixth row
now we should have 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16
18 19 stitches on this needle just like
we did here on the sides over so far
work good now turn so now here for a row
7 same thing this is what you're going
to repeat like I said until we have one
or two stitches here left again with the
yarn behind slip the first stitch knit
20 one two three four
five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 okay slip the next

18 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 stitches turn
so for your eighth row same thing with
the yarn in front slip the first stitch
put your yarn behind and we're going to
knit 20 1 2 3 4
five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 now these next two
we're going to purl together so bring
the yarn in front and purl two together
and this is how we finish the eighth row
now turn here I forgot to count how many
stitches we have 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18
now this is how you're going to continue
for the rest until we have about maybe 2
or 3 stitches here left I may need to do
a reduction we're here in the center but
I'll show you that part after we finish
this here so continue like this remember
you're going to knit 20 here and then
slip this stitch knit the next and then
pass the stitch over the stitch that you
just knitted and in turn again and
repeat I'll meet you back once we have a
couple of stitches left in our needing
needles to show you what we need to do
next okay I'm here at the end I have one
stitch on this needle needle and I have
one stitch here and then the 22 stitches
here in the very center so here what
we're going to do is I'm going to slip
this stitch and I'm going to knit these
two together I'm going to do this at the
beginning and here at the end this is so
that this part here reduces a little
it's not really necessary but if you
want to do it go ahead and do it here
otherwise just knit so now here I'm
going to knit these stitches until I
come to these last two here for the
center part so let's see I have
one two three four five six seven eight
nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen
fifteen sixteen seventeen now these next
two you're going to knit together like
this and now we're going to slip this
next stitch knit the last stitch pass
the stitch that we slipped over this
last stitch that we just knitted and now
this part here is done
so now we're just going to turn now I'm
going to slip this stitch here put the
yarn behind and I'm going to knit until
I come here to this other end so that's
one two three four five six seven eight
nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen
15 16 17 18 and then these last two I'm
going to purl together and there you
have it we're done now in this center
part I should have let's see 2 4 6 8 10
12 14 16 18 20 stitches so now what
we're going to do here is we're going to
cast off IV stitches here so to do that
we're going to slip the first stitch
knit the next pass this stitch that we
slipped over the stitch that we knit now
knit one more pass this stitch over the
stitch that we just knitted and we're
casting off our stitches here again knit
the next pass the stitch over the stitch
that we just knit and this is all I'm
going to do all the way to the very end
you
and this is my last stitch so knit and
then pass this stitch over
yeah mom there it is no we're going to
cut our yarn leave a small tail now
we're going to pass this yarn through
this last stitch here and this part here
is done and that's what it looks like so
now what we're going to do is we're
going to go along the side on the right
side and we're going to pick up some
stitches here so that we can finish this
part here with the same stitch like I
have here so I'll come back and show you
that part next okay so now what we're
going to do is we're going to pick up
stitches along the bottom here but first
we're going to have to choose which side
is going to be your right side so I like
this other side here where you can't see
the stitches along the very edge so I'm
going to turn my like this and I'm going
to go to this side right here now here
I'm going to grab a crochet hook and
insert it right into this very corner
stitch right there and I'm going to grab
just grab a loop like this bring it
through the front and leave a little
tail here so that we can hide this end
so just tie a knot right there this is
going to be easier when we pick up the
stitches here along the very edge so
here I'm going to be inserting my hook
between the bumps see the rows have the
little bumps so I'm just going to go in
there and insert my hook and then I'm
just going to grab a loop like this
now you can do this part with a crochet
hook if it's easier though we're going
to go between the stitches so that's two
three see these are the two little bumps
four five six seven
eight
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 and 18 okay I
have 18 stitches for this side so I'm
going to make sure that when I do this
other side I do 18 as well okay so now
for the this back side so here I'm just
going to insert it into this very last
stitch it's gonna be a little hard to
pick up there it is
oops no let's see there's no right or
wrong way to do this part here just pick
up a stitch right there this is the very
corner so now to do this part I'm just
going to go into the space grab a loop
that's two three
for
five
six
seven
eight
910

okay so I have 20 stitches for this part
and now I'm going to make sure I do 18
on the side so let's see here we're
going to go into this first space
between the bumps it's 1 2 3 4
five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 and 18 perfect
oops
okay so we have total let's see we have
2 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28
30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 54
56 stitches okay now we're going to turn
and here we're going to knit 1 purl 1
knit 1 purl 1 so this first one I'm
going to slip and the next one I'm going
to purl knit purl knit purl knit
knit and purl this is all I'm going to
do so continue like this all the way to
the end of this row I will meet you here
to show you what we need to do next okay
I finished this row here my last stitch
was a purl so now I'm going to turn now
here we're going to do the same thing
the first stitch I'm going to slip the
next stitch is a purl the next stitch is
a knit next stitch is a purl this is all
I'm going to do and I'm going to repeat
this same row I'd say for about two more
times I think I'm going to do this with
four or five rows I'm not sure but
continue like this just repeating the
same rode knit purl knit purl until we
have a total of four rows if it's more
or less I'll let you know here how many
I'm going to do so continue like this
and I'll meet you at the end of this row
to show you what we need to do next okay
I'm here at the end of the fifth row so
in total I did five rows so now here
what we're going to do is we're going to
cast off these stitches here to finish
the baby bonnet okay so to do this
what we're going to do is I'm going to
slip this first stitch this next stitch
is a purl so I'm going to purl the
stitch and this first stitch I'm going
to bring it over the second stitch like
this so we just cast off the first
stitch now the next stitch is a knit so
we're going to knit then we're going to
bring this stitch over the second stitch
again the next stitch is a purl so we're
going to purl bring this first stitch
over the second stitch and this is how
you're going to continue all the way to
the end so the next one is knit so knit
this stitch and bring the stitch over
the stitch that you just knitted and the
next one is a pearl so purl the next
stitch and bring the stitch over the
stitch that you just pearled continue
like this all the way to the very end I
will meet you there to show you what we
need to do next okay so I'm here at the
end I finished casting off my stitches
and this part here is done so now what
I'm going to do here on my baby bonnet
is I'm going to make an i-cord now you
can also just pick up four stitches here
along the very edge and then just knit a
strip so that way you can just tie it
I'm going to try to do an i-cord
so to do an i-cord you're going to need
double pointed needles I have this one
here this one is slightly smaller than
what we've been using this is 3.25 you
can use any size now here what I'm going
to do is this is my last stitch so I'm
not going to cut my yarn or anything but
I'm just going to go in and pick up four
stitches so there's two three and four
so I'm just going to pick up three more
stitches so I have four stitches here
now slide your needle so that we can
start here on this end and here we're
just going to now knit beginning here
now this is going to be a little hard
the first couple rows but once you get
the hang of it it's going to be easier
so knit
knit knit and knit okay
now slide your needle again and do the
same thing you're going to knit
now the first stitch is a bit hard but
once you do that it's fine and the next
knit
knit and knit now make sure you pull on
this or that your stitches fall in place
now slide your needle again and do the
same thing and that's how you make an
i-cord the hardest itches always the
first
so there's knit knit knit and if you
notice I'm knitting through the back
loop but it really doesn't matter I just
think for me it's more comfortable
through to do it through the back loop
in this case okay now you pull slide
your needle again and knit the first
stitch
it the next let me try to knit it
through the front leg and let's see if
it's more it's about the same I feel
more comfortable doing it through the
back loop and it doesn't matter do it
whichever way you feel comfortable so
I'm going to continue like this I'm not
exactly sure how long I'm going to do
this but I'll let you know here how many
rows I'm going to do so continuing on
each at the end of this row ok finish
making my eye cord here it's about 10
inches I lost count how many rows I'm I
did but it measures about 10 inches now
here what we're going to do is we're
going to cast off these four stitches so
that what this part here is done so
we're going to knit the first stitch
here knit the next stitch now pass this
stitch over the stitch that we just
knitted now it's knit to the next and
pass the stitch over the stitch that we
just knitted
now knit the last stitch and pass the
stitch over the second stitch know this
part here is done and I'm just going to
cut my yarn and I'm just going to pass
this loop or this yarn over this last
loop and it's done and my icord is done
now here I'm just going to hide my end
and now we're going to do the exact same
thing here on this side so to do that I
am going to grab four stitches here so
grab a loop we're going to sew here grab
this first stitch insert your needle
through the other stitch grab a loop
and stretch your needle through the next
stitch grab another loop and through
this very corner stitch grab your last
stitch and there it is okay so we have
four stitches here we're going to do the
exact same thing we just did here so
slide your needle and knit the first
stitch pull this yarn back here and now
knit the next three stitches now slide
your needle and do the same thing knit
the next four stitches
so here we're just going to do the exact
same thing we did on the other side
we're going to do this until it measures
about ten inches well this is how you
start this other side
okay so continue like this until you
have your ten inches and then I'll come
back and I'll show you what our finished
baby bonnet looks like okay I finished
making the other side this is what it
looks like so my baby bonnet is done now
I have my little model here and I'm
going to try it on she usually wears a
size three to six months now this one
here it's a bit big I'd say that this
size is for a baby between six and nine
months but as you can see you can always
just tie it around a baby that's smaller
and a kind of sorter it looks like this
I think it's super cute and this is what
it looks like from the back
there it is and there's this side so
there's an option for you so you can
make it in this using the same needles
that I used and it's going to turn out a
bit big but it's not going to be any
problem like I say you just tie it and
this is what it looks like here around
the face now for a bigger baby it may
not look like this it may look a little
like this which is also very cute now
you can also make it for a baby between
zero and three months just use two point
five millimeter nating needles for a
baby between three and six months use
four millimeter nading needles and for
six to nine months which is what we did
here we used four millimeter nading
needles and for a baby between nine and
12 months use four point five millimeter
nading needles and between twelve and
eighteen months you use a five
millimeter need a needle with light
number three baby yarn okay so this has
been today's tutorial I hope you liked
it thank you so much for watching until
next time
