The Little Edie is a vintage inspired bonnet pattern worked up in a light worsted/aran weight yarn or combination of yarns. It’s designed to fit loosely and comfortably around the face, and to either tie in a bow under the chin or be wrapped around the neck like a scarf.
The pattern is one size and designed to fit most adult heads. It’s constructed through knitting a back panel first then using this as a base from which to shape the main portion of the bonnet, and it’s finished with ribbed edges and ribbons.
This is an advanced beginner/intermediate pattern. You must be familiar with moss stitch and comfortable with techniques such as increases, decreases, and working into the back loop.
Gauge - 10cm x 10cm = 10st by 20 rows in moss stitch
Measurements:
width (from from mid back of head to end of front ribbing): 22.5cm
depth (from top of bonnet to end of bottom ribbing, at tallest point): 31cm
length of ribbons: 33cm
All measurements are after washing and blocking
Recommended yarn: 100g Drops Air OR 130g The One Merino OR 80g of Lang Jawoll held together with 70g Drops Brushed Alpaca silk (For the striped and colour block versions you will two thirds of colour A and one third colour B)
Materials: 4.5mm & 3.5mm crochet hooks, Tapestry needle
