Today I started working on a bonnet to go with the socks I started yesterday. I know I had a pattern at one point in time, but it wasn't on hand when I started the bonnet, so I'm flying by the seat of my pants once again. For both the socks and the bonnet I am using Paton's Beehive Baby Sport in the Precious Pink. I was looking for a baby yarn in the fingering weight, and this was the closest I could get without running into more than one store. It's a very soft yarn that is machine washable and dryable (something I think would be very important for newborn clothes, haha). In this pattern I used an F (USA) crochet hook.

Finishing Edge
Round 1: HDC in the same Ch 2 space. Continue around the bonnet, working 16 HDC evenly down the side. When you come to the circle in the back, skip a stitch. 1 HDC in next two stitches. *YO, pull up a loop through the next stitch, YO, pull a loop through the stitch after that, YO and pull through all the loops.* repeat from * to * across the back. Skip a stitch, then work 16 HDC evenly up the next side. End with a HDC in the Ch 2 loop. Ch 2 then HDC in the same space. Ch 2.
Round 2: 3 HDC in first Ch 1 space. *Ch 2. 3 HDC in next Ch 1 space.* Repeat from * to * across the top of the bonnet, ending with a SS in the Ch 2 space. SS the rest of the way around the bonnet, ending with a SS in the Ch 2 space at the beginning of this round. Tie off and weave loose ends in.
Ribbon
Starting in Row 9, weave the ribbon using a yarn needle or crochet hook around the outside up to Row 20. Continue weaving the ribbon through Row 20 to the other side of the bonnet, then back down to and around the back side of the bonnet. Finish back at Row 9 where you started. Trim your ribbon leaving 6-8 inch tails. Pull on the ribbon slightly to give the bonnet it's shape then tie a bow.
The bonnet is completed, I just need to get a picture posted.
Happy Crafting!
