Pattern Notes

This raglan yoke sweater is knit from the top down and in the round. You first work the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. The back panel includes short rows near the back neckline. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist. The pattern includes optional bust darts, including suggested spacing for each size and a description to customize bust darts based on your own measurements. You end by working each sleeve individually. The arm panels feature a fisherman’s rib cable pattern that carries down the entire sleeve.

Stitch counts and round counts are indicated for each size based on the following size order: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). It is recommended that you highlight the stitch and round counts for your size before beginning to knit.

Stitches that appear between * and * should be worked until the end, unless otherwise indicated.

It is recommended you check your gauge on both the circular needles and double pointed needles (or small circular needles) to ensure your tension is the same. Adjust your needle size as necessary to obtain gauge.

A Note About Beginning the Yoke and the Fisherman’s Rib

The ribbing for the Fisherman’s Rib should line up with the initial ribbing at the collar. The first time you work the Fisherman’s Rib, be sure to work a K/K1B into a knit stitch from the round before and a P/P1B into a purl stitch from the round before. Do not work the first cable in the Fisherman’s Rib Cable Pattern until after you have worked the Ribbing Panel Marker Placement section and have 24 sts for the arm panel between two added markers to keep the fisherman’s rib consistent in the center of the arm panel.

A Note About Sleeve Increases

When working the sleeve increases, be sure to keep the Fisherman’s Rib Cable Pattern consistent as you add stitches, and use the stitch next to it to determine whether you should work a K or a P the first time you are working a new stitch.

If the stitch in the previous round was a M1R or M1L and the Fisherman’s Rib Cable Pattern calls for you to work a K1B or P1B, just do a K or a P stitch for that round only when you are first working the new stitch.

INSTRUCTIONS

Pattern: Adelaide Bonnet

A vintage-inspired baby bonnet

Find a printer-friendly, PDF version of Adelaide Bonnet below!
 

ABOUT

Skill Level:

Intermediate

Pattern Notes:

This bonnet is made in one piece with the back edge sewn together at the end.

An I-cord drawstring is attached at the end to help the bonnet frame the face.

Stitches that appear between * and * should be worked until the end, unless otherwise indicated.

COMPONENTS

Materials:

60-65 yards of Yarn Bee Rustic Romantic in Blueberry Bushel

Size 8 double pointed needles

Tapestry needle

Your favorite faux fur pompom

Size:

0-3 months

Finished Measurements:

7 inches tall x 10 inches around (measuring from left cheek to right cheek)

 Gauge:

16 sts x 26 rows = 4 inches

STITCH ABBREVIATIONS

CO – cast on

K – knit

P – purl

Sl – slip

St(s) – stitch(es)

BO – bind off

Ssk – slip stitch from left needle to right needle knitwise. Slip a second stitch from the left needle to the right needle knitwise. Slip those two unworked stitches separately back to the left needle purlwise. Knit those two stitches together in the back of the stitches

INSTRUCTIONS

Bonnet:

Loosely CO 51 sts

Rows 1-30: Sl 1 purlwise, *P1, K1*

Using the Icelandic Bind Offmethod, BO using K across. This forms the bonnet edge that frames the face.

Fold the piece in half and sew the CO edge to the other CO edge together using a tapestry needle.

I-Cord:

CO 3

Work the I-cord for approximately 30 rows, or until it measures 7 inches.

Here is a link to a helpful video that demonstrates how to attach the I-cord edging. Work 2 sts of I-cord until only one stitch remains. Slip the last stitch knitwise. With your right needle and the right side of the bonnet facing you, pick up the right side edge of the first slipped stitch of the bonnet. Pick up the stitch by inserting your needle from top to bottom. Knit the last two sts together as if working a ssk.

Continue attaching the I-cord in this manner along the entire bottom edge of the bonnet. When you have finished attaching the I-cord along the entire bottom edge, work the I-cord for approximately 30 rows, or until it measures 7 inches.

Pompom:

Find the point of the bonnet at the back of the head and attach your favorite faux fur pompom.

THANK YOU!
