The Yarn
To design this crochet pattern I used yarn from Drops yarn. It’s tested for both their Merino Extra Fine and Cotton Merino.
If you can’t get your hands on those yarns specifically I would recommend that you substitute for and DK weight yarns.

THE PERFECT BABY CROCHET PROJECT
The crochet Cute Baby Bonnet was a design I made years ago, however I just got around to typing up the pattern this year.
I love this design, because it’s such a cute baby bonnet & the fact that it has multiple sizes makes it really great.
This baby bonnet is a great basic part of a baby wardrobe & it’s a perfect gift to a newborn boy or girl.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.

If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin, to make the pattern easier to follow.

- Turning chains are always included in the stitch count.

Techniques You Will Need
Crocheting In The Front Loop and Back Loop
This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you.
For this pattern you will crochet all stitches through the back loop (BL).
