Crochet The Daisy Bonnet- Pattern Includes Sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 3-5 years
The Daisy Bonnet has been designed as part of my Daisy Collection. The bonnet features a half double crochet v-stitch pattern that forms a very modern crochet texture. The piece is stitched in a flat rectangle and then sewed at the back to form the bonnet. Some very simple shaping decreases the bottom of the bonnet for a perfect fit. Next a single crochet ribbing is added along the bottom and front as well as two straps to complete the look. This pattern is accompanied by a full video tutorial if you want to follow along. Lastly you will make your desired amount of daisies to adorn your bonnet or leave them off for a gender neutral look. Perfection!
Make The Daisy Collection!
The Daisy Collection features four beautifully designed crochet pieces: the Daisy Bonnet, Daisy Cardigan, Daisy Dress (to be released soon) & Daisy Blanket (to be released soon). The bonnet showcases a modern half double crochet v-stitch, constructed as a flat rectangle with a snug fit and optional decorative daisies. The cardigan, inspired by a knitted design, is worked from the top down in a raglan style and includes video tutorials for beginners. Finally, the dress offers a timeless silhouette created seamlessly from the top down, complete with video support for challenging techniques. Each piece can be adorned with flowers or left plain for a gender-neutral look, encouraging creativity throughout the collection.
