27: The Roe Bonnet



Good morning all! Pattern number 27! Woah we're getting there. Almost done now!
How are you going with the hat drive? Have you reached your goals?
Remember, we don't post until the 15th of October.

Today's bonnet features a little bow and stripe in contrasting colours, giving it just enough pop! This bonnet would be great for using up brighter scraps of variegated yarns!

Rejoin yarn to the dc with the second stitch marker and chain 35 for the second tie. End off, weave in all tails.

Bow:
With CC

2-4: Ch1, turn, sc in each stitch across - 12sc

5: Ch1, sc evenly down the side of the rectangle, sc in the chains along the bottom from row 1, sc evenly up the other side, sc in each stitch across, join to the ch1. You should have just sc around the entire rectangle. End off, weave in all tails. Your piece should measure 4.5cm/1.7” x 6.5cm/2.5”

Take a long piece of CC yarn and tie it around the center of the rectangle, this will pull the sides in creating a bow. Tie a knot in the back to keep it in place. Wrap the yarn around the center of the bow a few times and then tie a knot in the back to keep the loops tight and in place. Sew the bow to the side of the bonnet. Weave in tails.
