“Lines” Baby Bonnet Knitting Pattern (1–3 Months, Beginner-Friendly)

Finished size:	Fits approximately 1–3 months
Needles:	3.0 mm and 3.5 mm (US 2.5 and US 4)
Yarn:	Suitable baby yarn (DK / light worsted)

Notions: Stitch markers, stitch holder or scrap yarn, tapestry needle

Cast on 66 sts on 3.0 mm needles using your preferred method (I use long-tail cast on).

Rows 1–3:

Edge stitch, knit to end.

Change to 3.5 mm needles. Work in garter stitch (knit every row) until piece measures 12 cm from cast-on edge.

Divide sts into three equal sections of 22 sts each and place markers between sections.

Short Row Shaping (Back of Head)

Work short rows on center and side sections to shape the back of the head. Always begin with the edge stitch.
