This hood/bonnet hybrid begins at the center back with a disappearing loop cast on and then maintains the circle with a gorgeous spiral increase design. It is then finished by knitting flat, creating a folded over brim, and using a simple crochet edge to clean up the bottom border. And of course, the mindless knitting of the mohair bow can be done as the first or final step! **Needles & Notions:** Size US 6 / 4mm circular needles* & DPNs (for main portion of bonnet) Size US 5 / 3.75mm circular needles* (for brim) Size US 8 / 5mm circular needles* (for bow) Size F / 3.75mm crochet hook (for neck edge) Stitch markers, removable stitch markers, tapestry needle * cable length will vary based on size **Sizing:** (1, 2, 3)(4, 5, 6) (Baby, Toddler, Child) (Adult S, Adult M, Adult L) Finished bonnet circumference (around face and under chin like the bonnet sits): (15.5, 18, 19) (20.5, 22, 25)" (39.5, 45.5, 48.5) (52, 56, 63.5) cm Choose a size with 0-2" of negative ease. **Gauge:** 23 stitches & 32 rows/4” on a US 6, stockinette stitch, yarns held together, blocked. **Yarn:** The Wandering Flock Fingering Weight 100% Single Ply SW Merino Color- Electric Orchid *held together with* The Wandering Flock Lace Weight Kid Mohair/Silk Blend Color- Electric Orchid **Yardage:** (110, 125, 150) (175, 200, 225) of fingering weight yarn (220, 250, 275) (330, 350, 375) of lace weight mohair yarn **Video Tutorials:** [Disappearing Loop Cast On][2] [Slip Stitch Crochet Edge][3] [Folded Over Brim][4] [How to Tie the Perfect Bow][5] [1]: https://www.parknknit.com/newsletter [2]: https://youtu.be/7-EjPamncNE [3]: https://youtu.be/vTaG26P7sKg [4]: https://youtu.be/luq6_xwnwwU [5]: https://youtu.be/ZVBG7LAnrFQ
