Sweet & Snuggly Knitted Fluffy Jordan Bonnet — Free Baby Bonnet Pattern (Newborn to Toddler)
The Knitted Fluffy Jordan Bonnet is the epitome of cozy cuteness for babies. This textured, fluffy bonnet is worked flat and seamed at the crown, then finished with ties at the front corners. The pattern includes multiple sizes from newborn through toddler and uses a soft, fluffy worsted-weight yarn for a plush look and feel.
Notes: Gauge is important for fit. The pattern is worked flat on straight needles and seamed at the crown. Finished head circumferences are listed for each size below.
Materials: appx 35-90yd worsted weight yarn (I used belangor angora or KnitPicks Wonderfluff), size 8 (5mm) straight needles or (size needed to obtain gauge), yarn needle, 2 stitch markers
Gauge: appx 4sts/inch Gauge is very important!
Sizes (appx finished head circumference) : newborn (13ins), 0-3mths (14 ins), 3-6mths (15ins), 6-12mths (16ins), 1-3yrs (17ins)

Do not bind off. Cut yarn leaving appx -10ins. Pull yarn through remaining stitches and cinch the back tight. Using this end sew the crown together to your stitch markers.
