    3. 3

    Important notes

    • Tip: This is an original pattern inspired by the photo. Hidden details are interpreted from the image, and the pattern has not been physically test-crocheted.
    • Tip: Abbreviations (US terms): ch = chain, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, sl st = slip stitch, MR = magic ring, BLO = back loop only, dec = decrease.
    • Tip: The bonnet is worked in turned rows; the turning ch 2 does not count as a stitch. The booties are worked in joined rounds.
    • Tip: Sizing assumes a 0-3 month head of about 13-14 in (33-36 cm) and a foot of about 3.25 in (8 cm). Babies vary, so measure if possible.
    • Tip: Safety: never leave a baby unattended in a bonnet with ties, and sew all flowers, leaves, and pompoms on very securely.

    Pattern FAQ

    How do I make a larger size?

    Use a 4.5 mm hook for about 3-6 months. Add 2 rows to the bonnet and 1 increase round to each bootie sole for a longer foot.

    Can I use ribbon instead of chain ties?

    Yes. Sew a 12 in (30 cm) length of soft satin ribbon to each front corner, and seal the cut ends so they do not fray.

    Which yarn is best for babies?

    Soft cotton, cotton-acrylic blends, or baby acrylic are gentle and easy to wash. Avoid fuzzy yarns that can shed fibers.

    How do I wash the set?

    Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water with baby detergent. Lay flat to dry and reshape the scallops while damp.
